OpenText Invests €105M in Ireland, Adding 400 Jobs
OpenText, a Canadian enterprise AI data management company, announced an investment of €105 million to create 400 new jobs in Ireland over the next three years. The positions will be based at its sites in Cork and Galway, doubling the company's investment in Ireland. Supported by IDA Ireland, the investment will expand capabilities in agentic AI, sovereign cloud, cybersecurity, and digital operations, targeting customers in the EMEA region. This is the largest single investment in Ireland by a Canadian-headquartered technology company. OpenText will conduct research and development in agent orchestration, continuous compliance for data sovereignty, and threat detection for regulated environments. The announcement was made in Dublin with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin and IDA Ireland CEO Michael Lohan. The expansion strengthens OpenText's 'free cloud choice' strategy, allowing customers to operate in hybrid, private, or sovereign cloud environments according to regulatory and security needs.
Major enterprise AI and cloud investment in EMEA, relevant to AI infrastructure but not directly focused on advertising technology; not industry-shifting.

Solar Campus: 250kW PV, 100kW Grid, ÖAMTC EV Charging
Austrian cleantech firm 'wir sind solar' has completed an ambitious corporate charging park in Mannsdorf an der Donau, running almost entirely on self-generated solar power. The campus features 180 kWp rooftop and 70 kWp facade photovoltaics, but is deliberately limited to a 100 kW grid connection, managed via battery storage and energy management to shave peak loads. Six charging points (4 AC, 2 DC) come from ÖAMTC ePower.Business, which also handles maintenance and billing. Since joining the ÖAMTC charging network, the site has seen significantly higher customer frequency due to visibility and roaming. The project demonstrates a business model where solar operators can partner with established CPOs, offering insights into load management and self-consumption. ÖAMTC currently operates around 2,100 charging points and offers roaming to 30,000 more across Austria, priced per kWh.
