Vistatec prepares to move into its new global headquarters in early 2026. The company is building a workplace designed for the next era of technology and human ingenuity, where the two work side by side. This next chapter begins in Dublin’s Design Quarter, a central and fast-developing part of the city chosen with purpose.
A Strategic Move Into a Connected, Energetic District
The area around the new headquarters is one of Dublin’s most active urban neighborhoods, known for its blend of culture, modern development, and strong community of businesses. It is also home to the National College of Art and Design (NCAD), a long-standing institution that brings a steady flow of international students and creative professionals into the district. The presence of NCAD gives the neighborhood a sense of global outlook that aligns with Vistatec’s own reach.
“This district is rich with energy and ideas,” says Simon Hodgkins, Vistatec’s Chief Marketing Officer. “You can walk the streets here and feel the focus on making, building, and forward thinking. It is the right environment for a company shaping the future of global content.”
The surrounding streets offer an easy network of cafés, restaurants, and independent businesses that make the location practical and welcoming for employees, clients, and partners. For a company that regularly hosts international teams and customer visits, this atmosphere supports the kind of experience Vistatec wants to provide.
A Grade A Modern Office for a Fast-Moving Industry
The building is a Grade A office that meets high standards for performance, infrastructure, and modern workplace requirements. Apt for a global leader in multilingual content, technology integration, and AI-supported workflows. Vistatec’s headquarters is designed to operate as a functional engine for collaboration, problem-solving, and global delivery.
“We wanted a space that supports where our industry is heading,” says Caroline O’Connell, Chief Revenue Officer. “Localization is expanding, AI is accelerating, and client expectations are rising. This new headquarters gives our teams the environment to deliver at that level.”
The interior layout supports flexibility. Open areas are set up for group sessions, while focused zones allow for uninterrupted work. Meeting rooms are built for strategy discussions, client workshops, and cross-functional collaboration. Each part of the building supports a different stage of Vistatec’s work.
The digital infrastructure matches the needs of a global operation. The building supports constant communication, reliable connectivity, and hybrid work across time zones. Every team involved in the content lifecycle can work without disruption.
Built for AI and the Future of Global Content
AI plays an increasingly central role in global content and localization. Large language models, machine learning systems, and automated evaluation tools help teams work faster and manage higher volumes, but they do not replace the need for cultural expertise or human judgment. Global brands still rely on specialists who understand context, tone, regulation, and risk.
This new environment heightens the expectations placed on LSPs. Clients want partners who can guide them through AI adoption, data use, content governance, and model behavior. The work becomes more technical and more consultative. Linguists, engineers, and content strategists now operate as integrated teams who help clients build multilingual systems that scale while protecting quality and brand integrity.
Vistatec invests in a hybrid AI + human direction because the future of global content will rely on a steady combination of automation, expertise, and strong advisory support. As Simon Hodgkins puts it: “AI is changing the pace of our industry, and our clients want a partner who can help them use it responsibly. It has to be fast, but it also has to be right. The new Vistatec HQ building is designed for exactly that balance.”
Connected, Accessible, and Easy to Reach
The area offers strong public transport connections, with multiple bus routes and LUAS access nearby. For international teams, the location connects smoothly to Dublin’s main transit routes and makes travel straightforward.
For the growing group who cycle to work, the building includes 96 secure bicycle spaces along with showers and lockers. Many people want a commute that is active, efficient, and flexible. The building also includes electric car charging ports for current and future EV drivers. These practical additions support a more sustainable way of working.
Work looks different in 2026 than it did even five years ago. Vistatec’s new headquarters are sustainably designed to support how employees work. The office is a direct response to the future of work: flexible, intentional, and centered around environments that support productivity.
The Future of Vistatec
The move into Dublin’s Design Quarter marks a significant step in Vistatec’s evolution. It places the company in a central, well-connected district, establishes a modern Grade A environment for its teams, and creates a headquarters built to support the future of global content and AI-driven work.
