The Brno Week of Corporate Services and Innovation will take place under the auspices of the Mayor of Brno. Its aim is to increase the visibility of this modern industry and show what opportunities it brings not only to job seekers but also to the city’s residents, in the form of an international element and a growing quality of infrastructure, services and life.
The partners of the event are the Association ABSL and companies Cushman & Wakefield and Grafton Recruitment.
There are already around 70 companies from the corporate, IT and customer service sectors providing their services in Brno, offering highly professional work with modern facilities for a full 38,000 employees. Brno is thus the city with the largest concentration of employees in the industry in the entire Czech Republic. With the Moravian capital on the radar of more investors, we expect the industry to grow by another 2,000 jobs in the upcoming year. These will be mainly qualified positions in the fields of information technology, research and development, finance, logistics and HR services.
