Strategic Growth Backed by Local Talented Engineers and Global Vision

The Bucharest office complements GlobalLogic’s existing presence in several of the largest cities in Romania (Cluj-Napoca, Iasi, Oradea, and Brasov), further strengthening its ability to deliver end-to-end digital solutions. The expansion follows the successful integration of Fortech, one of the largest Romanian software development companies, which was finalized in February 2024.
