Enhances Footprint in Ireland
Infosys started its Ireland operation by opening an office in Dublin in 2014. Since then, it has expanded operations in the country through its offices in Waterford, Wexford, Clonmel and Craigavon. The expansion of the operations in Waterford will enable the company to strengthen and expand business relationships with clients from the telecommunications, manufacturing, social media, healthcare, edu-tech and fin-tech sectors.

The company opened several technology and innovation centers in Europe to develop leading-edge digital capabilities and provide training to IT talent to support the digital transformation of European businesses.
