Louth County Council says it is delighted to welcome Noesis, a global leader in IT solutions and services, to Dundalk as it launched a new IT Centre of Excellence today. 

Focused on developing services such as Quality Management and DevOps, Data Analytics & AI, and Enterprise Solutions, servicing its global client base, this milestone represents the latest expansion in Noesis’ footprint in Europe, and a significant commitment to Ireland and County Louth.

The Noesis IT Centre of Excellence will nurture local IT professionals based in Dundalk, providing them with dynamic career opportunities. The investment will have a positive economic impact on the local community, whilst also supporting the growth of Ireland’s IT industry. This project is supported by the Irish Government through IDA Ireland.

Minister for Enterprise Trade & Employment Peter Burke TD said: “I am delighted that Noesis, in partnership with IDA Ireland, are launching a new Centre of Excellence in Dundalk today. This expansion will create significant job opportunities for Dundalk and surrounding areas, which is very much in line with Government’s aim to increase regional investment, while also benefiting businesses through the provision of innovative technology solutions.

"On behalf of the Irish Government, I thank Noesis and IDA Ireland for all their work on this project and wish the team every success in the future.”

Noesis says that this expansion highlights the company’s dedication to innovation and excellence. Expanding into Ireland is a key component of Noesis's global growth plan, leveraging the country's vibrant IT ecosystem and talent pool.

In welcoming the attendees to the launch, Nelson Pereira CTO Noesis, said: “Today’s launch represents a significant moment in our commitment to increase our footprint in Ireland. We are very proud to have a presence in here, to grow together with our clients and our team. To us, Ireland represents a key market, we recognise the amazing talent it has to offer, and we look forward to what’s to come.”

The Centre will enable Noesis to deliver innovative solutions to clients worldwide, covering a variety of IT services and solutions, focused on helping Irish and global companies advance their goals, with increased productivity and efficiency. Some of the services the new IT Centre of Excellence will cater for are Cloud & Security, Data Analytics & AI, DevOps & Automation, Enterprise Application Integration, Enterprise Solutions, IT Operations & Infrastructure, Low-Code Solutions, and Quality Management in delivering software and applications.

Dónal Travers, Global Head of Technology & CCBS at IDA Ireland said “The establishment by Noesis of this new facility in Dundalk is very welcome news. This investment not only strengthens the professional services landscape, but adds to the strengthening technology ecosystem in Dundalk and the North East. I wish the Noesis team every success.”

“Businesses today face massive barriers to digital transformation. The services we are able to offer our clients through our new IT Centre of Excellence here in Dundalk, such as solutions based on Artificial Intelligence, Enterprise Solutions or effective Low-Code Solutions will have a significant positive impact on a company’s delivery of software and applications. With these services, companies can be more competitive, deliver faster and at much higher quality. Research shows that 70% of all software development will include these services by 2025. 

"We have recognised that there is tremendous opportunity for growth when it comes to these services in Ireland, and we are determined to lead this movement in Ireland. This is why our new IT Centre of Excellence, based in Dundalk, is a crucial part of our growth strategy”, said Ricardo Batista, Managing Director Noesis Ireland."

Welcoming the launch of Noesis’ new IT Centre of Excellence in Dundalk, Cathaoirleach of Louth County Council, Cllr. Kevin Callan said: “I had the pleasure of meeting Nelson Pereira, CTO Noesis, and Ricardo Batista, Managing Director, Noesis Ireland. 

"The availability of talent in Louth makes it an attractive location for international businesses like Noesis seeking hi-tech skills.  Our location at the centre of the Dublin-Belfast Economic Corridor offers businesses the opportunity to tap into key infrastructure and supports, such as international access through Dublin and Belfast airports and industry programmes available at DKIT and through LMETB. 

"The pro-business approach of Louth County Council and the quality of life available to employees locating in Louth will ensure companies like Noesis will continue to invest in Louth into the future.”
