OpenText announced a €105 million expansion to create 400 jobs across Cork and Galway over three years, doubling its investment in Ireland and becoming the largest Irish investment by a Canadian technology firm. The initiative targets high-skilled positions to support enterprise AI and cloud operations in the EMEA region.
The Irish government, through IDA Ireland, facilitated the project, highlighting its role in attracting multinational technology investment and enhancing Ireland’s economic partnership with Canada. This commitment underscores Ireland’s strategic position ahead of its upcoming EU Presidency and reinforces its status as a hub for innovation.
Funds will be directed to R&D in agentic AI, sovereign cloud and cybersecurity, enabling development of multi-agent orchestration, continuous data sovereignty controls and federated threat detection. These capabilities aim to meet demand from regulated and mission-critical environments across European, Middle Eastern and African public and private sectors.
