Siemens will create 220 jobs in Bucharest and Brasov and get EUR5.4 million state aid for it, while Ness will get EUR20,000 more for 200 new jobs in Iasi.
“As part of its expansion project, Ness Romania will provide software development services, as it has been already providing since the second half of 2012,” Ness officials said.
The investment project is intended to drive the contribution of this business to the total revenue of the company up to about 90%, they added.
The state-aid scheme Romania put in place to encourage use of new technologies and regional development has attracted 11 companies, which will invest EUR204 million and create 4,051 jobs. The state aid granted so far amounts to EUR88 million.
The other companies besides Ness and Siemens that applied to the scheme and will get state aid are Deutsche Bank, IBM, Endava, Dell, Orange, Microsoft, Luxoft, Pentalog and SCC Services.
