Another major milestone for public sector transformation in Ireland as we announce our new partnership with the Department of Social Protection, a collaboration that will drive AI-led innovation and enhance services for millions of citizens. The Department of Social Protection is demonstrating true leadership in how public services can evolve and we’re proud to support its teams as they lead from the front on this transformation. This is far more than just a technology programme, it’s a step forward in shaping a more responsive, inclusive and future-ready public service.
We’re proud to be awarded the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Generative AI Consulting Services Competency. It’s a reflection of the strength of our partnership with AWS and the AI capability we’ve built, like our Agentic delivery framework and AI Co-Creation Studio. Our AWS expertise is recognised through our Premier Tier Services Partner status. Backed by over 2,000 certified and accredited technology experts, we’ve built a broad range of AWS Competencies, giving customers confidence we can design, build and scale complex AI solutions securely and effectively.
Today marks an exciting milestone as we're pleased to welcome the talented CreateFuture team into our organisation. This acquisition creates a combined organisation of 4,250 employees with annual revenues of more than €500 million, complementing our private sector footprint and enhancing our AI-first capabilities. Together, Version 1 and CreateFuture will deliver AI-driven digital transformation programmes at scale across complex, regulated environments in both public and private sectors, and bring deeper expertise and greater delivery capacity to support clients across a broader range of industries. As our CEO, Roop Singh, put it, "This is a growth acquisition and reflects exactly where we are as a business, confident in our people, clear on our strategy and ready for what comes next."
We're pleased to share that we were winners of two major awards at the recent Digital Revolution Awards 2026. Consulting Partner of the Year - This recognised the value we deliver to customers across public, private and financial services. It reflects our strength across AI, cloud, data, engineering, and our focus on solving complex customer challenges while operating at a strategic level through our expertise and partnerships. AI Innovation of the Year - This award reflects how we approach AI in practice. Our work focused on applying AI in ways that are scalable and grounded in real customer needs, with a clear link to business impact rather than theory alone. Congratulations to everyone who played a part in achieving this.
