Cork has secured another major vote of confidence in its growing technology sector as Quest Software officially expands its presence in the city with the launch of a Centre for Advanced AI Architecture, reinforcing Cork’s status as one of Ireland’s most attractive locations for high-value tech investment.
The new centre will focus on artificial intelligence, advanced data architecture, and next-generation software solutions, supporting Quest Software’s global product development while creating a pipeline of highly skilled roles in engineering, AI research, and enterprise software development.
The expansion is expected to deliver significant long-term employment opportunities in Cork, targeting experienced professionals as well as graduates emerging from the region’s strong third-level education ecosystem, including University College Cork and Munster Technological University.
According to Cork business leaders, the move highlights the city’s unique combination of talent availability, quality of life, and proven tech infrastructure, which continues to attract multinational companies seeking a European base that can scale.
Quest Software’s decision to grow in Cork builds on the region’s track record as a home for major global employers across software, pharmaceuticals, life sciences, and cybersecurity. It also aligns with Ireland’s broader push to lead in applied artificial intelligence and enterprise technology across the EU.
Cork Chamber welcomed the announcement, noting that investments like this deliver benefits far beyond direct employment, including increased demand for local services, professional suppliers, and innovation partnerships. The expansion also reinforces confidence in Cork as a location capable of supporting complex, high-value research and development operations.
