IBA Group, one of the largest providers of IT services in Central and Eastern Europe with its headquarters in Prague, has announced that it is to create 100 new jobs for IT specialists by opening a development centre in Brno. This business expansion involved an investment of more than CZK 50 million. It is expected that the jobs will be created by 2010. Brno is among the cities with the highest per capita concentration of university graduates in the world. This makes the city attractive to a range of demanding investors looking for qualified workers.
