DAEGU, South Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Global IT firm FPT Software recently announced the opening of its 82nd global office in the city of Daegu, marking a significant milestone in its strategic expansion within the vibrant economic landscape of South Korea.
Located strategically at the Daegu Bank building in the Buk-gu district, the new office enables FPT Software to better serve existing clients, particularly in the financial sector, including DGB Financial Group and IM Bank, while also targeting a broader customer base in the Daegu and Busan regions.
The Korean branch of FPT Software sets an immediate goal to establish an Offshore Development Center to strengthen cooperation with Daegu Bank in IT infrastructure development.
