• The opening reinforces NTT DATA’s commitment to Ireland’s growing tech and AI market

• New office strengthens client support across telecoms, banking and insurance, including enhanced capabilities following acquisition of specialist provider Alchemy.

NTT DATA, a global leader in AI, digital business and technology services, today announced the opening of its new Dublin, Ireland office. The office will support the continued growth of NTT DATA’s Ireland client base and represents part of a €16.5 million investment in the local economy. The commitment is primarily directed toward AI and digital services R&D, in association with business and academic institutions, alongside job creation. NTT DATA has created 100 jobs in Ireland since January 2025 – expanding its Ireland-based workforce by nearly 50% – and continues to expand, with plans to recruit another 50 staff over the coming six months. 

Ireland has become one of Europe's most advanced technology hubs, with a thriving digital economy and highly-skilled workforce. As an innovation-driven business with operations in 70 countries, NTT DATA views Ireland as an important market and has a growing client base that includes insurance companies, banks, and telecoms firms such as Three Ireland and eir. The new Dublin office illustrates the company’s commitment to supporting Ireland’s businesses with the latest research and technologies, expanding enterprise use of AI responsibly and at scale.

The official opening is marked by a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Dublin today, attended by Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment Peter Burke and His Excellency Miyagawa Manabu, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Japan to Ireland.

The event features a series of technical demonstrations showcasing NTT DATA innovations, including a presentation by the company’s R&D partner Trinity College Dublin on IOWN (Innovative Optical and Wireless Network) that can generate 100× power efficiency, 125× capacity at 1/200 of today’s end to end latency – enabling sustainable growth of data intensive services without proportional increases in energy consumption.

A further demonstration from Kinia, an education-focused social enterprise and a partner of NTT DATA in Ireland, highlights NTT DATA's focus on investing in AI skills for young people.

The new office opening follows NTT DATA's acquisition of Northern Ireland-based Alchemy Technology Services in October 2025, which strengthened the company's global insurance technology capabilities and its offer to clients in the specialty insurance market.

Niccolo Spataro, Executive Managing Director, UK&I at NTT DATA, who is attending the opening ceremony, said: “Ireland has a growing economy and a well-established and dynamic tech sector. Today’s announcement reflects our commitment to Ireland. The organisations that move decisively on AI will define their industries for years to come, and we intend to be the partner that helps Ireland's leading enterprises do exactly that.”

“I warmly welcome NTT DATA’s continued investment in Ireland and the opening of its new Dublin office. This €16.5 million commitment, alongside the creation of high-quality jobs, is a strong vote of confidence in Ireland’s position as a leading global technology hub. Investments like this not only support innovation and research but also contribute to the development of critical skills and opportunities across our economy. I look forward to seeing NTT DATA continue to grow its presence here and play an important role in Ireland’s digital future.” said Peter Burke, Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment of Ireland.

Michael Lohan, CEO of IDA Ireland said: “NTT DATA’s new Dublin office and investment of €16.5 million is a strong vote of confidence in Ireland and a clear sign of the company’s long-term commitment to growing its presence here. A key part of IDA Ireland’s strategy is to support Ireland as a global location for next-generation technologies, including AI, and to help companies scale high-value capabilities from Ireland for international markets. NTT DATA’s focus on research and development strengthens the wider technology ecosystem—deepening collaboration with Irish talent and academia and driving innovation that will benefit businesses and communities across the country.”
