Born from groundbreaking research at the University of Galway, Siren has emerged as a leading force in investigative intelligence technology since its formation in 2016.
The company’s roots trace back to advanced data science research conducted at the university in the Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI now Insight Centre ), where Dr. Renaud Delbru, Siren Founder and Chief Scientific Officer, led a team of over 30 researchers in collaboration with MIT. Their pioneering work focused on deriving meaning from data through innovative search technologies.
From its headquarters at Galway’s PorterShed, the company has grown to over 70 employees, with a significant number of graduates from the University of Galway working alongside experienced professionals from across the technology sector. Siren has expanded globally with offices across the United States, Asia Pacific, Italy, and France.
Siren’s all-in-one investigation platform combines AI, automation, and advanced search capabilities to help organisations protect people, assets, and networks. The company’s patented technology enables investigators to link and analyse data from large volumes of sources, serving national security, public safety, financial services, and cybersecurity communities. Its customers include some of the world’s largest police departments and intelligence agencies. Among its partners are organizations like the Anti-Human Trafficking Intelligence Initiative and the National Child Protection Task Force.
Siren’s continued innovation and growth have earned significant recognition, making the Deloitte Fast 50 for the third consecutive year. Last year it won the Scale Up category, ranking ninth overall. In 2023, the company secured €12 million in funding from the European Investment Bank, further cementing its position as one of Galway’s most promising technology companies.
