Cubic3 to cut 70 jobs, 52 of them in Dublin

SoftBank-backed Irish vehicle-connectivity company Cubic3 told around 160 staff on 28 August 2026 that their jobs were at risk; specifically 70 of its roughly 450 global roles will go, 52 of them in Dublin. The company cited financial competitive pressure and, to a lesser extent, increased AI use; the redundancies are compulsory, with notices expected on 21 September 2026 (Silicon Republic, 28 August 2026).
