Atea plans to invest over EUR 14 million in expanding its business process service center in Riga, and it plans to hire 150 to 200 new employees in 2013. By 2015, Atea hopes to create 600 new jobs in Latvia.
Atea is Nordic IT infrastructure company, globally employing more than 6300 people, of which 3500 work on support for IT systems.
