Global technology and business process services company Hexaware Technologies has announced plans to invest £25 million to expand its operations across the United Kingdom, reinforcing its long-term commitment to the country’s growing digital economy. The investment is expected to generate approximately 1,200 high-skilled jobs over the next three to five years in artificial intelligence, digital engineering, quantum computing and advanced technology services.

The expansion forms part of a broader growth strategy that will strengthen Hexaware’s presence in key innovation hubs across England. The company will enhance its existing delivery centre in Birmingham while establishing new research and development facilities in Manchester and Leeds. These centres will support the development of next-generation digital solutions, accelerate technology research and create opportunities for collaboration with academic institutions, businesses and public sector organisations.

Hexaware’s investment was among the international commitments highlighted by the UK Government during the G7 Summit as part of initiatives aimed at advancing artificial intelligence, innovation and clean economic growth. The company’s expansion aligns with the government’s objective of strengthening the UK’s position as a global centre for emerging technologies while creating new employment opportunities and encouraging regional economic development.

The new facilities will focus on developing advanced AI solutions, digital public services, cloud technologies and quantum computing applications. In addition to supporting research activities, Hexaware plans to build local talent pipelines through graduate recruitment, specialised training programmes and partnerships with universities and technology ecosystems across the country.

R Srikrishna, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of Hexaware Technologies, said the company has maintained a strong relationship with UK businesses for more than three decades and sees significant opportunities for future growth. He noted that the latest investment reflects Hexaware’s commitment to supporting the UK’s vision for responsible AI adoption while contributing to economic development through research, innovation and workforce development. He added that investments in digital technologies and talent will help deliver measurable value for both customers and citizens.

Parameshwaran Iyer, Executive Vice President and Head of UK and Europe, said the United Kingdom has become one of Hexaware’s fastest-growing markets. He explained that expanding local engineering and research capabilities will allow the company to work more closely with customers as they accelerate AI adoption and digital transformation initiatives across industries.

The United Kingdom is currently Hexaware’s second-largest global market and continues to experience strong business momentum. Following the opening of its UK headquarters at Canary Wharf in London in 2025, the company is now deepening its regional footprint through additional investments designed to enhance innovation capacity and customer support.
