US technology giant Workday <\/a>has said it plans to invest \u20ac175 million to establish a new artificial intelligence (AI)<\/a> \u201ccentre of excellence\u201d in Dublin, creating 200 jobs over three years. <\/p>\n

The company, which makes cloud-based business software, said the IDA Ireland<\/a>-supported investment expands the role of Workday\u2019s headquarters in Dublin within its global research and development operations. <\/p>\n

The new AI centre will focus on product development, AI upskilling, academic fellowships and partnerships with universities and Irish tech companies. <\/p>\n

Workday said the additional 200 jobs in the city will help it \u201censure regional AI, cybersecurity, engineering and research expertise is reflected\u201d in the company\u2019s AI platform, Workday Illuminate. <\/p>\n

The jobs will be based at the company\u2019s new European headquarters at the College Square office development in Dublin 2, into which it is expected to move shortly. <\/p>\n

The Nasdaq-listed tech giant already employs some 2,200 in the Republic, of which about 80 per cent work in research and development. <\/p>\n

\u201cDublin has been a cornerstone of Workday\u2019s innovation for close to two decades,\u201d said Graham Abell, vice-president, software engineering and Ireland site Lead, Workday. <\/p>\n

Michael Lohan, chief executive of IDA Ireland, said the decision to invest in Dublin will \u201cfurther strengthen Ireland\u2019s position at the forefront of AI research\u201d. <\/p>\n

\u201cWorkday\u2019s decision to expand its AI footprint in Dublin is a testament to Ireland\u2019s reputation as a global leader in technology and innovation,\u201d said Minister for Enterprise Peter Burke. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very pleased to support this investment and partner with Workday to maximise its new AI centre of excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n

In April, Workday formally signed a deal to locate its new European headquarters at College Square, the landmark office scheme developed by Pat Crean\u2019s Marlet Property Group in Dublin city centre.<\/p>\n

The agreement on the new long-term lease will see Workday occupy some 38,648 sq m (416,000 sq ft) of the office space at College Square. The company\u2019s accommodation represents the entirety of College Square\u2019s \u201csuper-prime\u201d office space and is the equivalent of 5\u00bd football pitches.<\/p>\n

In February, Workday axed some 142 jobs at its Dublin operation. It followed an announcement that it planned to cut 1,750 positions globally, or 8.5 per cent of its current workforce.<\/p>\n

Staff were told by chief executive Carl Eschenbach that the cuts were necessary to \u201cbetter align our resources with our customers\u2019 evolving needs\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"US technology giant Workday has said it plans to invest \u20ac175 million to establish a new artificial intelligence…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":124999,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[73],"tags":[289,79,18,43293,19,17,75773,75774,4772,8613],"class_list":{"0":"post-124998","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-artificial-intelligence","9":"tag-business","10":"tag-eire","11":"tag-ida-ireland","12":"tag-ie","13":"tag-ireland","14":"tag-marlet","15":"tag-pat-crean","16":"tag-peter-burke","17":"tag-workday"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124998","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=124998"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124998\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/124999"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=124998"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=124998"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=124998"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
