Presence in Ireland since 1999, since expanded to two locations

What the IDA brings to the table is providing opportunities for organisations like ourselves to connect with and observe the evolution of organisations in other industries, and that’s very powerful. We were introduced directly to some of the largest fintech firms in Dublin, we met their top management and we learnt how they’re organising delivery and managing their innovation.

What makes the Irish ecosystem unique from other financial services centres in Europe is the breadth of different types of companies and businesses in the financial services industry, paired with the presence of a massive technology cohort. The location has helped a lot of cross-pollination and access to talent with the mindset of the tech companies. Today, financial services companies must become tech companies; you need these cultures blending together if you want to stay relevant.

With the opening of our Co-Headquarters in Dublin, a globally-recognised hub for technology expertise, we are committed to further ambitious expansion to produce solutions for the biggest security challenges facing AI implementation. We are eager to tap into the incredible talent pool that Ireland and the wider EMEA region has to offer, in order to meet the opportunities ahead.

In other jurisdictions that we looked at, they literally wanted you to land and sign the deal. Whereas the IDA were very powerful in thinking about the next wave of growth beyond the first 200 people, and what type of skills we might look for then. It genuinely does feel like a partnership rather than a one-and-done, and the after-sales experience is excellent too.

Company makes Ireland one of its largest international sites

We think that Ireland has really become the gateway to the European Union. There’s so many things that US companies gain from their relationship with Ireland.
