The new hub will have a focus on enterprises in the public sector, along with healthcare, life sciences, and financial services industries.
New jobs will be in the areas of human resources, business development, and software engineering.
All-island approach to AI
Last year, GlobalLogic, a Hitachi Group company, acquired Sidero, the Athlone-based cloud and software development company.
The acquisition marked GlobalLogic’s first entry into the Irish market, and Sidero has since become GlobalLogic in Ireland.
“This expansion in Northern Ireland cements GlobalLogic’s commitment to businesses on the island of Ireland, while also representing a significant step in our ambitious growth plans,” said Carmel Owens, managing director of GlobalLogic in Ireland.
“This new presence builds on the success we have steered from our Athlone HQ and is a strong validation of the skills, expertise and dedication of the entire GlobalLogic team in Ireland.
“As a champion of regional investment and the advantages that it can deliver, Newry is an ideal base from which we can expand our business. We are tapping into the rich economy of Northern Ireland and in doing so, this move will enable us to roll out our services to even more sectors and industries. We anticipate many opportunities for growth in Newry and across Northern Ireland and we look forward with excitement to the next chapter and continued success on the island of Ireland,” Owens said.
