The growing, dynamic and diverse partnership network highlights the strength of Irish leadership in global digital infrastructure
DUBLIN, IRELAND - Host in Ireland is pleased to announce a record-breaking expansion in 2025, with 78 partners participating in the initiative this year. This remarkable milestone—including 26 new partners—demonstrates the growing importance of Ireland’s digital infrastructure ecosystem and the pivotal role it plays on the global stage.
The Irish digital infrastructure ecosystem is a trusted partner in global data centre projects and is seen as the go-to choice to design, build, and supply digital infrastructure into the EU and beyond. The ecosystem contributes an estimated €60 to €80 billion in digital infrastructure development across Europe. ICT and related services now represent nearly 60% of Ireland’s service exports, underscoring the ecosystem’s critical role in the Irish economy, as well as its leadership in global connectivity and innovation.
Host in Ireland’s partner community is built on the premise of success through collaboration with a focus on strengthening Ireland’s position as a leader in digital infrastructure both from and in Ireland. Our 2025 partners are the most expansive and diverse group of companies ever assembled by the initiative and brings together organisations with exceptional expertise in developing, planning, designing, constructing, equipping, operating and maintaining data centers on a global scale.
New partners include Axis Communication, Bolgers, Castle Group, Crestchic Ireland Ltd, Crystal Air, Datalec Precision Installations Ltd, EAE Elektrik, Edgeconnex, EnerSys, Enginenode, Exa Infrastructure, GemPool, Hanley Automation, Huawei Technologies (Ireland), MAN Energy Solutions, MTM Engineering Ltd, Murphy Geospatial, Oleson Ltd, Paroc Panel System, Pipiper, PSE, Relinea, Sika Ireland, SK TES, Socomec U.K. Limited, and Suretank Group.
Garry Connolly, founder of Host in Ireland, remarked, “This year, we are seeing an unprecedented coming together of the digital infrastructure ecosystem to address the opportunities and challenges in and from Ireland. On the one hand, despite Ireland having vast amounts of renewable energy along our island’s coastline, the country is facing an urgent power crisis that could see future waves of AI investment bypassing us. On the other hand, the diversity and expertise of our partners reflect Ireland’s capability to drive innovation and export our knowledge to every corner of the world. Host in Ireland and our 2025 partners will play a significant role in defining Ireland’s future as a leader in the digital infrastructure industry.”
