Irish AI and IT job expansion

Overview

In late July 2026, two Irish tech firms announced plans to grow their workforces as part of broader AI and cloud service expansion. Limerick‑based AI software company WrxFlo secured €3 million in funding to scale its AI‑powered SaaS platform, aiming to increase staff from 60 to 200 by 2028 and expand operations into the UK and United States. At the same time, Dublin digital services firm Tekenable launched a partnership programme to add 30 roles in project management, business analysis and software engineering, raising its headcount to 230 by mid‑2027.

A few weeks later, in early August 2026, Canadian enterprise software company OpenText announced a €105 million investment to broaden its Agentic AI and sovereign cloud capabilities in Ireland. The expansion will create 400 new jobs across Cork and Galway, reinforcing the country's position as a hub for trusted AI deployments and further boosting the local tech employment market.
