The company won out over some of Ireland’s most admired start-ups, including DevAlly, Spryt, MenoPal, Jentic and ArrayPatch.

Disseqt beat some impressive competition to win this year’s KPMG Global Tech Innovator (GTI) Ireland, earning a spot in the global competition final.

Disseqt’s AI assurance layer for enterprise AI operations offers IT teams a single platform to test and detect issues, protect and enforce guardrails, and prove and comply across the full AI agent lifecycle, according to KPMG, and aims to support organisations in aligning with frameworks like the EU AI Act and ISO/IEC 42001.

The judging panel found that Disseqt’s “pioneering solutions” meant it deserved its spot on the global stage in Lisbon this November, where it will represent Ireland and compete alongside innovating companies from 20 other countries in the overall final for 2026.

“Winning the GTI Ireland competition is a tremendous honour for myself, Apoorva Kumar and Manish Atri – my co-founders – and a testament to our team’s dedication to innovation and excellence,” said Cyril Treacy, co-founder and COO of Disseqt, which is based in NovaUCD in Dublin.

“As enterprises accelerate their AI adoption, assurance, reliability and compliance have never been more critical. This recognition validates our mission to help organisations operate AI safely and responsibly, and inspires us to keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in enterprise AI operations.”

Disseqt won out over some of Ireland’s most admired start-ups, including DevAlly, Spryt, MenoPal, Jentic and ArrayPatch.

“The level of innovation across this year’s competitors was outstanding and reflects the depth of talent in Ireland’s tech community,” said Anna Scally, global head of technology, media and telecommunications at KPMG.

“Disseqt’s commitment to ensuring trustworthy, compliant AI at scale is both timely and essential.”
