Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI), a global leader in semiconductor technology, marked 26 years of involvement with the Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition (YSTE) last week, continuing its long-standing commitment to inspiring the next generation of STEM talent in Ireland.

The Stripe Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition which took place at the RDS, Dublin, is Europe’s largest STEM event of its kind, bringing together thousands of students to showcase innovation, creativity, and problem-solving. As a Gold Sponsor since 2000, ADI is proud to once again engage with students through its interactive stand, highlighting technologies that underpin advances in mobility, digital healthcare, climate action, and connectivity.

For more than two decades, ADI engineers and scientists from Limerick, Cork, and Dublin have worked directly with students at the exhibition—sharing real-world insights, supporting judging, and recognising excellence among both students and teachers.

This year also marks 50 years of Analog Devices in Ireland. Since establishing operations here in 1976, ADI has grown to employ almost 2,000 people nationwide and remains a cornerstone of Ireland’s technology ecosystem. Recent investments include a €630 million expansion of its next-generation semiconductor R&D and manufacturing facility in Limerick, alongside the launch of ADI Catalyst, a collaboration hub designed to accelerate innovation.

He was named the Limerick Person of the Year (2011) and won an online award at the Metro Éireann Media and Multicultural Awards (2011) for promoting multi-culturalism online. Richard says that the ilovelimerick.com concept is very much a community driven project that aims to document life in Limerick. So, that in 20 years time people can look back and remember the events that were making the headlines.
