Workday has announced a three year €175 million investment and 200 specialised roles to establish its AI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Dublin.

 The investment, supported by IDA Ireland, expands the role of Workday's EMEA headquarters in the company’s product research and development globally.   Since 2008, Workday’s Dublin-based teams have driven impactful R&D, including AI-driven solutions like Workday Learning and Workday Assistant.

Workday is the AI platform for managing people, money and agents. It is used by more than 11,000 organisations around the world and across industries – from medium-sized businesses to more than 65% of the Fortune 500.

"Dublin has been a cornerstone of Workday’s innovation for close to two decades," said Graham Abell, Vice President, Software Engineering & Ireland Site Lead, Workday. 

"This latest investment will power our next chapter—pioneering the next generation of ERP, built for the AI era."

To support its continued growth in Europe, Workday will open a new, state-of-the-art EMEA headquarters at College Square, Dublin 2. 

The headquarters will include a new Customer Experience Centre (CXC) – an immersive space for European customers to collaborate alongside Workday product experts and senior leaders.

"Workday’s decision to expand its AI footprint in Dublin is a testament to Ireland’s reputation as a global leader in technology and innovation. We are very pleased to support this investment and partner with Workday to maximise its new AI Centre of Excellence.," said Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment, Peter Burke.
