Την επέκταση των δραστηριοτήτων της στην Πάτρα με τη δημιουργία ενός Technology Innovation Hub, ανακοίνωσε η PwC Ελλάδας.

Η εταιρεία με αυτή την κίνηση, θέλει να συμβάλλει στην ανάπτυξη νέων εργαλείων τεχνολογίας και καινοτομίας, ικανών να ανταποκριθούν στις προκλήσεις της επόμενης μέρας και του απαιτούμενου ψηφιακού μετασχηματισμού.

Aim of the Technology Innovation Hub

The aim of the operation of the Technology Innovation Hub is to utilize the local technology ecosystem for the development of innovative tools and the design of actions that promote and enhance the integration of the most advanced technology solutions in social and business activity.

The high academic and technological background of Patras, όπως έχει διαμορφωθεί από τη λειτουργία εκ των σημαντικότερων Ακαδημαϊκών Ιδρυμάτων και Ερευνητικών Κέντρων της χώρας, παράλληλα με τη δραστηριοποίηση πλήθους νεοφυών και καινοτόμων επιχειρήσεων, is expected to act as a helper to achieve the goals of the Technology Innovation Hub. To this end, a Memorandum of Understanding was recently signed between the University of Patras and PwC Greece. At the same time, a plan for the development of strong alliances with local actors is to be implemented.

The benefits

Η ανάπτυξη καινοτομίας μέσω του Technology Innovation Hub δημιουργεί reciprocal benefits for the local community. At one hand it creates new jobs by strengthening the cycle of the economy. On the other hand, it contributes to the strengthening of the technological profile of the region, making it an attractive investment destination. It is noted that PwC's new offices in Patras are under development and the staffing process has begun.

Through the coming together and creation of strong alliances, the exchange of know-how and ideas, the creation of employment opportunities and the development of innovation, We aim to build a community that will help address the challenges of digital transformation both nationally and internationally through PwC's global network. We are happy that we will soon be able to welcome our first colleagues to our new offices."
