Dedalus has announced it will create 100 new “high-value jobs” in Ireland over the next four years as part of a €10 million expansion of its Irish operations. The investment, supported by IDA Ireland, will bring the company’s total Irish workforce to 150 people, with a presence across software engineering, product management, clinical informatics, data and analytics, cybersecurity, and implementation services.
The company currently partners with the HSE and a range of hospitals across the country. In 2021, Dedalus acquired the online healthcare appointment platform Swiftqueue, which manages over four million appointments annually across Ireland’s healthcare system.
Supporting delivery
Announcing the new jobs, Taoiseach, Micheál Martin said: “Dedalus’s expansion in Ireland is a welcome boost to our digital health ambitions. These 100 new jobs will support the delivery of better, more connected healthcare services while reinforcing Ireland as a key player in the European health technology ecosystem.”
Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment, Peter Burke TD added: “Dedalus’s decision to expand its operations in Ireland and create 100 high-quality jobs is very welcome news. It is a strong endorsement of our talent base and our reputation as a hub for innovation in health technology. This investment will strengthen Ireland’s digital health capabilities and contribute to better healthcare outcomes for patients across the country. I thank Dedalus for their continued investment and wish the team every success as it grows and continues to deliver innovative solutions.”
This year, the company collaborated with the HSE on a number of projects, including the go-live of new clinical applications at Beaumont Hospital, the roll-out of the laboratory information management system at St James’s Hospital, and the launch of the National Medicinal Product Catalogue, a central reference source for medicines and medical devices.
Unlocking ‘full value’
Cathy McCartan, Executive Director, Dedalus Healthcare Ireland, said: “Ireland is central to our mission to help healthcare systems deliver safer, more connected care. This investment allows us to expand our Irish team and capabilities – supporting hospitals and community services with interoperable electronic health records, diagnostics and imaging platforms, clinical decision support, and integration services. By helping unlock the full value of Ireland’s healthcare data, we can improve outcomes for patients, strengthen system-wide decision-making, and deliver real value to the country. We’re excited to grow here and to export Irish-led innovation across our wider European network.”
Michael Lohan, Chief Executive, IDA Ireland, said: “Dedalus’s decision to expand in Ireland underscores IDA Ireland’s track record and reputation as a leading location for digital health and enterprise software. These highly skilled roles will contribute to innovation in patient care and strengthen Ireland’s position within a dynamic European health-tech sector. IDA Ireland is pleased to support this investment and looks forward to Dedalus’s continued success.”
