Digital Infrastructure Ireland expands partner community for 2026
Ten new organisations join as sector body positions itself as a central voice in national digital infrastructure policy
9 February 2026 | editor@breakingground.news
Digital Infrastructure Ireland (DII) has announced the expansion of its partner community for 2026, adding ten new organisations as Ireland’s digital infrastructure ecosystem continues to grow in scale, capability and international reach.
The new partners are Analog Devices, Arvato, Circet, Deco Engineering, EY, Matheson, nVent, Standard Control Systems, Trident Project Engineering and Ventac. Their addition brings further depth across engineering, construction, professional services, operations, equipment and specialist support functions.
DII said the broadened partner base reflects the increasing maturity of Ireland’s digital infrastructure sector, which now plays a significant role in the design, delivery and operation of digital infrastructure projects both domestically and across Europe. The organisation’s partners collectively span the full lifecycle of digital infrastructure delivery, from early-stage development and planning through to construction, operations, sustainability, legal and financial services.
Michelle Wallace, interim chief executive of Digital Infrastructure Ireland, said the expanded community strengthens the organisation’s ability to engage with policymakers and regulators. She said the diversity of expertise within the partner base underpins DII’s credibility as a representative body and supports its role in advocating for the sector at national level.
Over the past year, Digital Infrastructure Ireland has undergone structural changes alongside its membership growth. The organisation has transitioned to a Company Limited by Guarantee, a move intended to support stronger governance, increased transparency and broader stakeholder participation. DII said this legal structure better reflects its partner-led model and its expanding role in national policy dialogue.
The organisation has increased its engagement with Government departments, regulators and key stakeholders, contributing to both announced and emerging policy decisions affecting Ireland’s attractiveness as a location for digital infrastructure investment. DII has positioned itself as a conduit between industry and policymakers at a time when data centres, connectivity, energy integration and digital resilience remain live policy issues.
Looking ahead, DII plans to further expand its activities during 2026, including deeper policy engagement, increased visibility for partner organisations, additional industry events and the development of new collaboration platforms across the digital infrastructure ecosystem.
Applications to join Digital Infrastructure Ireland are open on a rolling basis. Organisations interested in becoming partners can contact Stephen Cogan, head of partnerships and community at DII, via stephen@digitalinfrastructure.ie.
