Dublin & London, 15th March 2018 – Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe TD today announced that TradeIX, the award-winning technology platform provider driving innovation in trade finance, is expanding its Global Headquarters in Dublin by adding 70 new jobs across engineering, sales, customer service, and product development.
TradeIX is a fast-growing, global company founded in 2016, by a team of experts in trade finance, blockchain technology and enterprise software. It challenges the status quo of today’s siloed and manual-intensive trade finance solutions, by bringing innovation to banks and their corporate clients.
In 2017, TradeIX was selected as the technology platform for the Marco Polo Network, a joint undertaking by R3, TradeIX, and many of the world’s foremost financial institutions including BNP Paribas, ING, Commerzbank, LBBW, Anglo-Gulf Trade Bank, NatWest, Natixis and SMBC.
TradeIX is supported by the Irish Government through IDA Ireland.
Speaking from London, Minister Donohoe who met with the TradeIX senior leadership team today said
“TradeIX is an award-winning, fast-growing technology platform provider and as such is a welcome addition to Ireland’s growing FinTech community. This location decision underscores the attractiveness of Ireland for investment in highly-skilled, knowledge intensive areas of activity.”
“TradeIX established its Global Headquarters in Dublin with over 35% of its workforce based in the Irish capital,”
said TradeIX Founder and CEO Robert Barnes.
“We are building the world’s first [external-link https://tradeix.com/ | distributed trade finance platform ] powered by Corda blockchain technology, and the Irish operation plays a pivotal role in developing and scaling the company’s solutions”,
he added.

I wish TradeIX the ongoing support of IDA Ireland as it serves its growing customer base from Ireland.”
