KOSICE, Slovakia -Yesterday, a working meeting was held at the Economic Development Center on Alzbetina Street, at which the arrival of a new investor in this region was announced - the French firm ZENOPS Slovakia for software development. ZENOPS, s. a.,  headquartered in Boulogne Billancourt, nearly Paris, is a leading provider of application software for mobile phone users.

After opening its operation in the USA, it is the second subsidiary outside France that is launched. ZENOPS Slovakia s.r.o will be a critical asset for ZENOPS' long term development strategy. The decision to open its first development unit outside France was done after a long research process for the best suitabale place to get established in Europe.

The macro economics, the geographical location and the availability of highly skilled workforce were the key decision factors. Moreover, the presence of Technical University of Kosice, flexible collaboration and support together with assistance of Economic Development Center of U. S. Steel Kosice (EDC) contributed to the right decision to establish ZENOPS Slovakia s.r.o. especially in Kosice.
