We’re incredibly proud of everyone who took part in this year’s charity cycle. Our @Microsoftirl team raised over €300,000 for @LauraLynnHouse – the most ever in a single year – marking 40 years in Ireland in a truly meaningful way. Huge thanks to all who cycled and supported

I was pleased to contribute to the @IrishTimes US-Ireland Business Report about the need to #SkillUpIreland for the AI era. From #MSDreamSpace to partnerships like STEM Passport for Inclusion, we're helping everyone to develop critical skills. rb.gy/qvtjb4

Proud to welcome over 800 students to the #MSDreamSpace Showcase this week where they showcased innovative #STEM & #AI projects solving real-world challenges. We're committed to equipping every young person with the digital skills to thrive in the era of AI.

Today we celebrate 50 years of innovation @Microsoft. In today’s Irish Times, Brad Smith reflects on our journey & the pivotal role played by Ireland in empowering people & organisations on the planet to achieve more. irishtimes.com/business/2025/…

Check out the video from this week’s ceremony where @BradSmi received the @IDAIRELAND Special Recognition Award on behalf of the team at @MicrosoftIrl. Looking forward to seeing the many ways in which we can continue to empower people, society & industry in the years to come

Interesting insights from the latest #LabourMarketPulse report by @IDAIRELAND, @Microsoftirl & @LinkedIn. The data highlights the growing need for green skills in the workforce to drive sustainability and ensure a competitive future. rte.ie/news/business/…

Incredibly proud of @MicrosoftIrl team for raising €296,000 for @LauraLynnHouse by way of our annual cycle and more than €1.4 million over the past 11 years. These funds will help to extend services to more children and families across Ireland. #MicrosoftLifeIreland #LauraLynn

@USAmbIreland @Microsoftirl Thank you, Ambassador. This is another exciting strategic milestone for Microsoft in Ireland, which will deliver AI engineering and cybersecurity innovation globally.

Thrilled to be joined by Taoiseach @SimonHarrisTD & Michael Lohan from @IDAIreland as we announced a critical investment in our Irish operations & the creation of 550 AI roles in engineering & R&D.

Last week, we welcomed over 400 students to #MSDreamSpace for #CybersecurityWeek as we sought to equip the next generation with the tools, knowledge & skills on online safety, password security & phishing which will help them to navigate our digital world safely and responsibly.

In recognition of #SDGWeek2024, we’re proud to roll out Code Green in partnership with @IKC3_Project at @MTU_ie. This latest #MSDreamSpace TV series equips young learners with #STEM & #AI skills to tackle sustainability challenges in school communities. tinyurl.com/zhdpju6d

Another important step forward on our sustainability journey as today we launch a pioneering green hydrogen pilot project with @ESBGroup that will see our data centre control building in Dublin be powered by zero emissions green hydrogen power. For more: irishtimes.com/business/2024/…

As AI becomes more capable and agentic, models themselves become more of a commodity, and all value gets created by how you steer, ground, and finetune these models with your business data and workflow — and how they compose with the UI layer of human to AI to human interaction. That’s why today we are announcing wave two of Microsoft 365 Copilot.

Great to speak to the @IrishExaminer about the importance of empowering the next generation with the skills to thrive in the era of AI & how #MSDreamSpace has empowered 300,000 young people across the island of Ireland to develop their STEM & AI skills irishexaminer.com/business/compa…
