Hexaware Technologies, a global provider of IT solutions and services, has announced plans to invest £25 million to expand its operations in the United Kingdom, a move expected to generate around 1,200 jobs across Manchester, Leeds and Birmingham over the next three to five years.
The investment was among those highlighted by the UK Government during the G7 Summit on June 16, 2026, as part of a broader package of international commitments supporting the country’s artificial intelligence (AI) and clean energy agenda.
Focus on AI, digital services and quantum computing
As part of the expansion, Hexaware will scale up its delivery centre in Birmingham while establishing new research and development centres in Manchester and Leeds.
The investment is aimed at accelerating innovation across emerging technologies, including AI, digital services and quantum computing. The company said the initiative will focus on nurturing local talent, advancing research capabilities and supporting the modernization of citizen and public services.
UK remains a strategic growth market
Hexaware said the investment reflects its long-term commitment to the UK market, where it has operated for more than three decades.
“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,” said Hexaware Technologies, CEO & Executive Director, R. Srikrishna.
He added that the company’s investments in AI research, digital innovation for citizen services and talent incubation would create meaningful social impact while supporting the UK’s long-term economic growth.
Expansion to support growing client demand
According to the company, the UK is its second-largest global market and the fastest-growing geography within its international business.
“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,” said Hexaware Technologies, Executive Vice President and Head – UK and Europe, Parameshwaran (Param) Iyer.
Building on recent UK growth
Hexaware strengthened its presence in the country with the opening of its UK headquarters in Canary Wharf, London, in 2025. The latest investment is expected to further enhance the company’s capabilities in delivering next-generation technology solutions while contributing to regional economic development and the UK’s ambitions of becoming a global leader in AI-driven innovation.
