Deloitte Ireland buys IT consultants Red Planet

Deloitte Ireland has bought innovation consultancy Red Planet, a company that matches corporate clients with start-ups, for an undisclosed sum.

Since launching in late 2015, Red Planet has secured a number of blue-chip telecommunications and financial services clients. Deloitte Ireland said Red Planet was a natural fit for its clients.

The size of the deal has not been disclosed for commercial reasons but Deloitte said it plans to continue making significant investments in its digital capability.
