Liberty IT has opened a new hub in Galway, creating 100 new jobs.
The company which develops technologies for its parent company, Liberty Mutual Insurance, already employs 650 people across the Island of Ireland, with offices in Belfast and Dublin.
This expansion is supported by the Irish Government through IDA Ireland.
"The West has become hugely important in the tech sector, and with this announcement they are continuing to demonstrate their commitment to Ireland," said Minister for Enterprise Trade & Enterprise Simon Coveney.
"The hub will allow for innovative and exciting new work to be undertaken, while availing of the wealth of talent available in Galway and surrounding areas.
"This talent is no doubt a driving force behind Liberty IT's decision to choose Galway for this investment. I would like to congratulate the team and wish them continued success in Ireland and this new project," he added.
Tony Marron, Managing Director of Liberty IT described Galway as one of Ireland's most vibrant tech communities.
"When looking into potential locations, PorterShed was the obvious choice for us as its outstanding contribution to supporting the growth and development of innovative businesses is very much aligned with the ethos of Liberty IT," he said.
"Over the last number of years, we’ve grown significantly and have developed our capabilities, particularly in the areas of data science, AI and machine learning.
"It’s a difficult time for many across our sector, with many downsizing across Ireland in recent months. Liberty IT are dedicated to supporting the incredible tech talent across the country and I am pleased to announce that we will be recruiting 100 new jobs over the next two years," he added.
