The news comes amid the official opening of a new premises, which is also part of NTT Data’s €16.5m investment.

NTT Data, a Tokyo-headquartered AI, digital business and technology company has today (17 June) announced the creation of 50 jobs to be based out of a new Dublin office. The new premises replaces a previous Dublin-located base of operations and is part of a €16.5m investment into the local economy.

According to the organisation, the investment will focus primarily on jobs creation, as well as AI and digital services R&D in association with business and academic institutions. NTT Data has expanded its Ireland–based workforce by 50pc since 2025 and the newly announced roles are expected to be filled over the course of the next six months. 

NTT Data has stated it regards Ireland as a critical market and its Irish client base includes a range of insurance companies, banks, and telecoms firms such as Three Ireland and Eir. The company also said the new Dublin office will illustrate a commitment to supporting Ireland’s businesses with the latest research and technologies.

Commenting on the announcement, Michael Lohan, the CEO of IDA Ireland, said: “NTT Data’s new Dublin office and investment of €16.5m 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.”

Niccolo Spataro, the executive managing director for the UK and Ireland at NTT Data, added, “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.”

In late May, in Galway, global healthcare technology company Medtronic also announced the creation of new roles amid the establishment of a European software development hub for its patient care systems function.  

New roles at the Galway site will be in areas such as leadership, software engineering and systems reliability and the hub will serve as a global ‘centre of excellence’ for cardiac digital health.
