Work AI leader Glean today announced a deeper investment in Australia, formalising its local presence with an established entity as AI momentum continues to build. As organisations across Australia and New Zealand move from AI experimentation to enterprise-wide adoption, Glean is expanding its support for customers and partners in the region. With a local legal entity and plans to nearly double its in-market team this year, Glean is helping enterprises across ANZ deepen AI adoption in ways that deliver meaningful business impact and make AI more useful in the flow of work.

The Australian Market Opportunity

Australia is one of the most mature technology markets in APAC, but many organisations are still navigating the harder second act of the AI journey: moving from pilots to secure, governed deployment at scale. Across ANZ, enterprises are managing sprawling application environments, siloed information, rising expectations around data sovereignty, and the need for AI that can work across the business, not just within a single tool or workflow. Glean's expansion in Australia reflects both the market opportunity in ANZ and the company's broader international growth strategy.

Addressing Enterprise AI Needs in ANZ

Organisations across Australia and New Zealand know what AI can deliver, and they're moving quickly to make it useful inside the enterprise. But they need more than access to models. They need AI grounded in their company's own context, connected across their existing systems, and built with security and governance at the core. This momentum is playing out across key ANZ industries including technology, financial services, telecommunications, and media, where organisations are looking for AI that can operate securely at scale. Glean's context-aware Work AI platform is designed for that reality, bringing enterprise knowledge, permissions, and workflows together in a secure AI layer. With a growing local presence, Glean can work more closely with customers and partners as they turn AI from experimentation into scaled business impact.
