IT firm Nexigen Communications is expanding its presence in Northern Kentucky with an investment in an artificial intelligence research lab.
The company is growing its already-established presence in Newport. It’s known for cybersecurity and online cloud storage.
Nexigen says they want to use the lab as a “national resource” for other companies interested in the technology.
The firm is investing $4.35 million into the expansion.
It’s expected to bring 75 jobs to the Northern Kentucky area, roughly doubling their current employment. Of that number, 43 jobs will be filled by in-state residents.
