OpenAI announced on July 27, 2026, that it will more than triple its workforce at its European headquarters in Dublin, Ireland, from over 100 to 350 employees. The ChatGPT maker is leasing 8,000 square meters of office space in Dublin's Silicon Docks area and plans to hire 250 additional staff over the next two years in engineering and support operations.

Foreign multinationals, particularly in tech and pharma, employ about 11% of Irish workers, attracted by the highly educated workforce and favorable tax regime.
