Squarespace, the US company that helps small and medium sized companies to set up their own websites, today announced an additional €70m investment in Ireland, in partnership with IDA Ireland.
Squarespace has had a presence in Ireland since 2013 and operates from Squarespace House on Ship Street Great in Dublin.
The company said that Ireland has become an important hub for its international operations and innovation, with the €70m commitment building on the announcement of 120 additional jobs in Ireland last year.
Squarespace said its latest investment here further strengthens its long-term commitment to Ireland and its role as a strategic location for its global growth.
Colm MacCarvill, Head of Squarespace Ireland, said that Ireland has played an important role in Squarespace's growth for more than a decade, and this €70m investment reflects the company's continued confidence in Ireland as a strategic location for the business.
"As we look to the next generation of Squarespace, we're combining our strength in design with AI-powered technology and new commerce capabilities to make it even easier for entrepreneurs to start, manage and grow their businesses. This is a long-term commitment to innovation in Ireland the talented team we have built here," he added.
Donal Travers, Executive Director of IDA Ireland said that Squarespace's decision to make a further €70m investment in Ireland is a strong endorsement of its ongoing commitment to this country and of Ireland's position as a strategic location for high-value engineering-led growth.
"This investment aligns closely with IDA Ireland’s strategy to attract high-value digital and AI innovation, strengthen Ireland’s technology ecosystem and create long-term opportunities for highly skilled talent," Mr Travers said.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin welcomed Squarespace's additional €70m investment in Ireland, as it builds on its strong presence here over more than a decade.
"This commitment is a clear vote of confidence in Ireland's highly skilled talent base, our vibrant technology ecosystem, and our reputation as a leading location for innovation and global business. Squarespace's continued growth in Dublin will support high-value activity and further strengthen Ireland's position as a hub for digital enterprise," he added.
