Qualtrics announced it has opened its new Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) headquarters in Dublin City Centre, which will feature an XM Innovation Centre focused on AI. The EMEA headquarters, at Costello House on Clarendon Row in the heart of the city, was officially opened by Brad Anderson, President of Products and Engineering at Qualtrics, and Simon Coveney, Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment. The opening of the building marks 10 years of investment and expansion in Ireland by Qualtrics, since the U.S.-headquartered company set up a Dublin base as its first office outside of the United States in 2013.

Costello House is Qualtrics office in EMEA and the base for the company to target further international expansion. The Dublin office will also house a planned R&D XM Innovation Centre. Building on the strong engineering presence in Dublin, the new centre will serve as a centre of excellence dedicated to creating innovations leveraging AI, machine learning and natural language processing amongst other technologies.

The facility will bring together industry experts to shape the future of experience management. Costello House has capacity for over 500 employees and an immersive Executive Briefing Centre for customers from across EMEA to reimagine experience management for their business. The space boasts impressive features including an employee enablement hub, gym, wellness studio, and pub.

Qualtrics currently employs almost 400 people in Dublin and is continuing to hire locally.
