Capgemini opens up shop in Katowice

"Capgemini will employ 400 people," said Piotr Wojaczek, president of the KSEZ. "The project was included in the Katowice Special Economic Zone and recruitment will begin in April." The zone is putting particular stress on developing services and it is expecting an influx of projects related to BPO, ITO, external services and call/contact centers. "I would like to establish a corridor from Gliwice through Katowice to Sosnowiec, which would offer favorable conditions for investments in shared services centers," said Wojaczek. In 2007 Katowice alone should see the creation of 1,000 jobs in the sector. "Within five years services will create 3,000-4,000 jobs," added Wojaczek. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 7) M.M.
