Docusign, the electronic signature software company, is boosting its presence in Ireland with a €4.5 million investment in its Dublin AI Centre of Excellence, supported by Ireland's Foreign Direct Investment Agency (IDA). 

The expansion is designed to accelerate local AI innovation and strengthen the company’s R&D footprint across Europe.

“Today’s announcement underscores our commitment to Ireland and the broader EMEA region,” said Allan Thygesen, CEO of Docusign. “This significant investment in AI supported by IDA is a testament to the incredible talent pool here and our unwavering focus on building intelligent agreement management solutions for our European customers. This is an opportunity to help Ireland realise its vision of boosting competitiveness and enabling a digitally empowered Europe through AI-led innovation.”
