Canadian Tech Giant OpenText to Create 400 New Jobs in Ireland
Canadian technology company OpenText has announced a significant expansion of its Irish operations. The firm plans to invest €105 million into its existing sites, which will result in the creation of 400 new jobs across the country.
The new roles will be based at the company’s offices in Cork and Galway. This investment is part of a broader strategy by OpenText to strengthen its presence in the European market, with Ireland serving as a key hub for its global technology services.
OpenText specializes in information management software, helping businesses organize and secure their data. The company has been operating in Ireland for several years, and this expansion highlights the country's continued appeal as a location for major international technology firms.
Local authorities and business leaders have welcomed the announcement, noting that the addition of 400 high-skilled positions will provide a boost to the regional economies in both the south and the west of Ireland. Recruitment for these new roles is expected to begin in the coming months.
This investment is a positive sign for the Irish technology sector, which has faced some uncertainty recently due to global economic changes. The commitment from OpenText demonstrates confidence in the local workforce and the business environment in Ireland.
