Faculty Launches Frontier Plug-in Marketplace, Accelerating How Organisations Build and Scale Decision Intelligence

Published

on

By

Frontier’s latest release equips technical teams with modular plug-ins – expanding platform capabilities and strengthening integration with existing enterprise tools.

LONDON, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Faculty, the developer of the Decision Intelligence platform, Faculty Frontier™, today announced the launch of the Frontier Plug-in Marketplace, a new capability that extends the Frontier platform with a curated, open ecosystem of modular plug-ins. Available to all Frontier customers, the marketplace enables teams to discover, adopt, and contribute plug-ins directly within existing deployments, with no refactoring required.

“In the AI era, the organisations that will win are those that improve decision-making at scale,” said Andy Brookes, Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder of Faculty. “The Frontier Plug-in Marketplace is how we ensure that advantage compounds – enabling teams to reuse proven capabilities, share innovations, and apply them safely and consistently across the organisation.”

Scaling AI across the enterprise remains one of the most complex challenges facing organisations today. As AI programmes expand beyond initial deployments, teams struggle to maintain consistency, move at pace, and maximise the value of their technology investments. Without a standardised way to share and reuse proven capabilities, ROI slows and the gap between AI ambition and enterprise reality widens. The launch of the Plug-in Marketplace within Faculty Frontier™ directly addresses this challenge.

A Curated Library of Modular Capabilities
The Plug-in Marketplace gives teams access to a curated library of modular capabilities – spanning data ingestion, MLOps pipelines, decision management, validation tooling, and more – all accessible directly within their existing Frontier environment.

An Open Ecosystem, Built to Scale
The marketplace is designed to grow with the organisations using Frontier. Beyond consuming what’s available, technical teams can build and share their own plug-ins – retaining full control of what they contribute.

Every plug-in is reviewed and versioned by Faculty, giving teams the confidence to adopt quickly, upgrade on their own terms, and focus on what matters: improving the decisions that drive enterprise performance, rather than managing infrastructure.

What This Means for Technical Teams
For the data scientists, data engineers, ML engineers, and decision engineers at the heart of Frontier deployments, the marketplace delivers an immediate and tangible shift in how work gets done:

Proven, reusable capabilities adopted in minutes, not daysNo need to rebuild what others have already solvedA consistent, maintained foundation across every Frontier deploymentAbility to build, share, and contribute capabilities back to the wider Frontier communityA clear upgrade path as new capabilities are added

Availability
The Frontier Plug-in Marketplace is available to all Frontier customers. To explore how your team can begin with the marketplace, speak to your Frontier solutions engineer. New to Frontier? Visit faculty.ai/frontier to learn how organisations are using Decision Intelligence to transform performance and scale AI across the enterprise.

About Faculty
Founded in 2014, Faculty is one of Europe’s longest standing applied AI companies. Our suite of AI products spans everything organisations need to access frontier AI and get it into the hands of their frontline teams to support their most important work. Faculty is also the developer of Faculty Frontier™, a Decision Intelligence Platform used by some of the world’s most trusted brands to transform decision-making at scale.

Widely recognised as a leader in AI safety, we work for the world’s leading AI labs, such as OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta, to ensure their latest models are safe, human-led and explainable. Our PhD-heavy team of deep AI experts has delivered hundreds of real-world AI products to improve critical public services and drive sustained economic returns across every sector of the economy. Headquartered in London, Faculty remains founder-led following its acquisition by Accenture in 2026.

Published

By

Investing €74M to expand MongoDB’s Irish operations across engineering and AI developmentCreating ~200 new jobs by 2027, growing Irish workforce by 50%+ to 500+ employees across Dublin International HQ and new Cork officeHelping 65,200+ customers move AI from experimentation to production at scale

DUBLIN, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MongoDB, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDB) is expanding its Irish operations through a €74 million investment in engineering, AI development, and operational growth. As part of this expansion, the company plans to grow its Irish hybrid workforce by more than 50% by 2027, creating approximately 200 new roles across engineering, product development, and customer-facing teams. Ireland’s focus on “Applied AI” aligns closely with MongoDB’s role in helping 65,200+ global customers move from AI experimentation into real-world production. Anchored by its international headquarters in Dublin and a new office in Cork, the company is deepening its investment in local talent and ongoing university partnerships under the leadership of newly appointed Vice President of Product and Technology, Donal Walsh.

CJ Desai, President and Chief Executive Officer, MongoDB, said: “Ireland is an important market for MongoDB, home to exceptional talent, great customers, and the right environment to scale our global business. Our teams here are central to how we innovate for and serve our world-class customer base.

As organizations move from experimentation to building agentic AI applications in production, they need a data platform that can handle the complexity of real-world data and deliver highly accurate retrieval when the stakes are high. This investment in Ireland advances our mission to do exactly that — building the unified data platform our customers need for modern, multi-cloud, and AI applications.”

The investment expands engineering and customer teams in Ireland that build and support MongoDB’s modern data platform, used by organizations worldwide. These teams help customers develop secure AI-powered applications on a flexible data foundation that runs across cloud, hybrid, or on-premises environments, while supporting their efforts to meet Europe’s evolving regulatory requirements around data protection, security, and the EU AI Act.

Minister Peter Burke, Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment, Government of Ireland, said: ”I warmly welcome MongoDB’s decision to expand its Irish operations through a €74 million investment, creating 200 high-quality jobs and establishing a new office presence in Cork. This announcement is a strong endorsement of Ireland’s ability to attract and grow global technology leaders in areas such as engineering and applied AI.

Ireland’s focus on innovation, skills development, and regional growth continues to resonate with companies operating at the forefront of digital transformation. MongoDB’s ongoing commitment to Ireland, supported by IDA Ireland, highlights the depth of our talent pool and the strength of our collaboration between industry, government, and higher education. I wish MongoDB every success as it continues to expand its footprint here.”

Dónal Travers, Executive Director, IDA Ireland, said: ”I would like to congratulate MongoDB on this significant investment of €74 million in Ireland, which will result in 200 new jobs, and the opening of a new office in Cork. Ireland is now a recognized European location for companies seeking to build their applied capabilities in artificial intelligence, a key growth driver in IDA’s strategy. We are delighted to support MongoDB’s innovation goals and look forward to a continued partnership in the years ahead.”

Paul Sweetman, Chief Executive, American Chamber of Commerce Ireland (AmCham), said: “I want to congratulate MongoDB on the announcement of its €74 million expansion in Ireland. This significant investment, with its strong focus on AI, underscores Ireland’s position as a hub for advanced engineering, innovation, and next-generation technologies, and highlights the strength of the country’s deep and collaborative talent ecosystem. It also reflects the continued confidence of US companies in Ireland as a location for high-value investment and growth. US companies already employ hundreds of thousands of people across Ireland, and recent AmCham surveys point to sustained confidence among members, with many planning further investment in areas such as AI, R&D, and digital transformation. This announcement is a clear example of how that confidence is translating into real investment and job creation.”

Established in 2013, MongoDB Dublin has long played a pivotal role in helping the company achieve its mission of empowering innovators to create, transform, and disrupt industries by unleashing the power of software and data. From the energy of MongoDB’s Dublin headquarters to the new collaborative space in Cork, the company has created an environment where people can see the real impact of their work.
