International financial consultancy group Deloitte inaugurated yesterday the European Regional Delivery Center in Bucharest, which will serve as a technology hub for local and international customers.

The center, which already employs more than 100 IT consultants, will create up to 800 jobs by 2020.

Besides contributing to employment by hiring at least 650 IT specialists, Deloitte’s European Regional Delivery Center will also contribute to the development of local talents, by engaging the center’s employees in the group’s key global projects, according to the company’s press release.

“Choosing Bucharest as the location for Deloitte’s technology center is a recognition of the talented IT resources the country has and of the dynamics of the local IT market. I am confident the European Regional Delivery Center will become a reference center worldwide and will provide Romanian IT talents the opportunity to expand their skills by being involved in major international projects,” said Satya Swaroop Roddam, Deloitte Tehnologie managing director.

Deloitte currently employs 600 experts in Romania.
