“It is an enormous pride to see a company like Maersk choose our city and our country to implement a technology hub, even more so knowing that HUUB’s acquisition was the significant driver of this movement. We have always felt the special talent of this city and its academy. We now have the responsibility to attract and keep this talent for the great objectives ahead of us”, says Tiago Paiva, former CEO of HUUB and now leader of one of Maersk’s main ecommerce products, quoted in a press release.
The space opens with 50 employees, but “company aims to triple that number by 2023.”
