Microsoft has officially opened its new 34,000 square metre campus in Dublin.

The €134 million campus, One Microsoft Place, is located in Leopardstown.

The new workspace facilitates team members from different parts of the business, with a diverse range of skill sets and roles, to come together as 'One Microsoft' to work together on behalf of local and global customers.

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar TD said: "The opening of this campus is a landmark day for Microsoft, which first came to Ireland 33 years ago, and a testament to the calibre of our tech talent who have contributed so positively to Microsoft's global growth. As a flagship multinational investor, Microsoft has strongly endorsed Ireland as an investment location for the world's top tech firms. The Government is determined to ensure that Ireland continues to harness emerging technologies for social and economic benefit.

"We are aiming to be a European leader in STEM education by 2026 and our enterprise policy is based around supporting research and innovation. Ireland is now ranked 10th globally for the overall quality of its scientific research, an increase of 26 places in 13 years. With this focused and ambitious approach, I believe we can make Dublin the tech capital of Europe."
