Description
DataArt, a major US enterprise software development company, announced its decision to establish offices in Cyprus. Over 50 people will be hired in Cyprus, and at least another 50 will be relocated from abroad.
According to Eugene Goland, DataArt's CEO, the decision to launch offices in Cyprus was made because the island provides an ideal base to expand their European presence and an access to new markets, moreover Cyprus provides a local highly skilled talent pool. The expansion was made possible through the new incentives established by the Cypriot government regarding foreign companies, and Invest Cyprus- the investment promotion agency of the Government of Cyprus- has been an excellent partner throughout this process. As of October 2022, there is no information on when the new jobs will be created.
DataArt employs more than 6000 people worldwide (according to data from August 2021), and, in addition to the US, is active in countries in Asia, Europe and the Americas, including, inter alia, Argentina, Kazakhstan, Germany, Poland, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
