In recent decades, Ireland has grown into a vibrant hub for global technology. As modernization accelerates, Irish organizations — spanning government agencies, established enterprise brands, and growing startups in AI and other areas — are all advancing their technical foundations. Today, leaders across the country are injecting agentic AI into every layer of their business and operational workflows. We are seeing organizations move from early prototypes to production-ready deployments using Gemini Enterprise . This progress supports Ireland's competitive position within the European market.
According to a recent Implement Consulting Group report assessing Google’s local contribution , public and private leaders estimate between 40 billion to 45 billion euros of economic potential in global AI markets. This ambition aligns with broader government initiatives. Since assuming the presidency of the Council of the European Union for the second half of 2026, Ireland has steered higher-level technology and policy discussions, outlining a National Digital and AI Strategy to improve productivity and innovation across sectors.
To support this strategy, we are focused on making these capabilities more accessible. Our local teams are collaborating with industry leaders to implement Gemini Enterprise which offers capabilities that range from conversational AI agents and natural language data analysis, to optimizing operations with agentic ecosystems. The economic impact is already taking shape. In 2025 alone, Google operations — including our AI and cloud services — added an estimated 10 billion euros to the Irish gross domestic product.
And this momentum is shared: Organizations across Ireland are using Google Cloud to modernize infrastructure and put AI to work. Here are several ways Irish organizations are modernizing with Google Cloud and Gemini Enterprise: Ryanair, Europe’s largest airline, is modernizing its collaborative operations and infrastructure by deploying Gemini Enterprise and Google Workspace for some 35,000 employees. Flight crews, operations planners, and corporate staff will benefit from streamlined decision-making, optimized crew logistics, and enhanced corporate productivity.
