Hexaware Technologies is doubling down on its UK ambitions with a £25 million investment that will significantly expand its footprint across AI, digital services, and quantum computing—while creating around 1,200 jobs over the next three to five years.
The global IT services provider said the expansion will span three major UK hubs: new R&D centres in Manchester and Leeds, and an expanded delivery centre in Birmingham. The move positions the UK as a central pillar of Hexaware’s global growth strategy and strengthens its focus on next-generation technologies.
The investment was among a series of international commitments announced by the UK Government at the G7 Summit on June 16, 2026, aligned with its broader agenda spanning AI innovation and clean energy.
Hexaware said the expansion will accelerate innovation in emerging technologies while anchoring development locally, with a strong emphasis on talent development and modernising public and citizen services.
R. Srikrishna, CEO & Executive Director, Hexaware, said, “Hexaware has worked alongside businesses in the UK for more than three decades. We have very high ambitions for our growth, creating impact in the UK and proudly supporting the Government’s inclusive vision for AI.
"Our investments are focused on developing young talent, working with unique published datasets, and collaborating with government at all levels across the country to create a positive impact for the citizens of the UK. These investments in AI research, digital innovation for citizen services, and talent incubation will create meaningful social impact while fueling and accelerating the UK’s long-term economic growth.”
Highlighting the strategic importance of the UK market, Parameshwaran (Param) Iyer, Executive Vice President, Head – UK and Europe, Hexaware, said, “The UK is one of our fastest-growing markets, and this investment reflects the confidence our clients and the UK Government place in Hexaware. Our UK clients are moving fast on AI, and having research and delivery talent on the ground here means we can build with them rather than for them.”
The UK remains Hexaware’s second-largest global market and its fastest-growing geography. The company strengthened its presence further with the opening of its UK headquarters in London’s Canary Wharf in 2025.
