Digital transformation specialists Expleo has announced plans to create 100 new jobs by 2023 in its Belfast office.
This follows a 125% increase in Expleo's Northern Ireland revenue between 2017 and last year as its NI-based staff increased from 70 to 100.
The company will be recruiting for roles in AI, Robotics, Quality Engineering, Project Management and Business Agility in Belfast.
Last year, Expleo played a key role in the rollout of the StopCovid NI contact tracing app, designed for interoperability with the Covid Tracker app deployed in the Republic of Ireland.
Expleo carried out extensive quality testing on the app, the world's first cross-border tracker device aimed at stopping the spread of Covid-19, and it dedicated more than 1,000 hours to testing the app in Northern Ireland.
Rob McConnell, Director of Expleo Group, said that as the digital transformation agenda takes precedence at boardroom level, Expleo's protracted phase of development in Northern Ireland looks set to accelerate.
He said that with a rich pool of talent to draw from in Northern Ireland, the company's looks forward to scaling its team and broadening its services portfolio to accommodate the evolving needs of local and international clients.
"As ever, the confluence of people and technological prowess will be the driving force behind our next chapter of success," Mr McConnell said.
