For its part, Capgemini said it plans to use the WNS acquisition to transition into an “agentic AI-powered intelligent” operation. The company’s services “will be the showcase for agentic AI,” Capgemini Chief Executive Officer Aiman Ezzat said in the firm’s statement on Monday.
The acquisition will also increase Capgemini’s exposure to the US market, and Ezzat said in an interview that it expands the company’s “expertise and technology.” WNS’s products help businesses perform data analysis, manage shipping and routing, automate travel booking and predict how customers will behave. The company serves more than 600 clients and operates in 13 countries, according to its website. In April, it reported better-than-anticipated quarterly earnings, though revenue declined slightly. What Bloomberg Intelligence Says: Capgemini’s $3.3 billion bid for WNS Holdings looks like a strategic bet on enterprises leaning on low-cost implementers to design and run AI agents, yet business-process-service disruption means expected revenue and profit synergies might not materialize. Yet Capgemini could boost US exposure and end-to-end transformation project competitiveness — Tamlin Bason, BI Industry Analyst. IT services firms from Capgemini to Accenture Plc are spending heavily on artificial intelligence, which companies around the world are racing to adopt. Capgemini said in the statement that the biggest opportunity for its customers to get value from AI is the “fundamental redesign of their operations and business practices.” “If enterprises turn to services firms to design and run agentic solutions, this could be the first of many such deals in the space,” Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Tamlin Bason said in a note. The international engineering and IT services provider is expanding its operations in the region. The number of experts at its local branch is set to double soon, reaching 200 specialists.

Scania has announced another major investment in Poland. The company has decided to launch a new European knowledge center in Gdańsk. The unit is set to expand over time, gradually bringing together a broad team of HR professionals within core functions.
The Gdańsk-based knowledge center is planned to be one of three global hubs, alongside planned locations in South America and Asia. The decision to locate the center in Poland followed an in-depth analysis of several European countries. Gdańsk stood out due to its excellent access to qualified professionals, strong experience in shared service operations, and a stable economic environment. A significant factor was also Scania’s already well-established presence in Poland, which includes 13 sales branches, 42 authorized service workshops, a training center, and nearly 1,000 employees. – Gdańsk is a strategic location for us – said Bartosz Poździk, Head of Knowledge Center Europe at Scania. – We are investing here not only in infrastructure and technology, but, most importantly, in people, who will support the growth of our company across multiple continents. A New Chapter in Pomerania For over 30 years, Scania operates a bus business in the Pomeranian region (in Słupsk and its surroundings), main factory has been closed in 2024 due to the company’s new strategy. The production of bus chassis is still continuing, with 300 employees. Years of successful cooperation and mutual trust have made Pomerania a reliable and proven partner for the company. The launch of a new competence center in Gdańsk marks an entirely new chapter in Scania’s operations in Poland. Alfa, a UK-based technology company supporting the financial sector, has chosen Gdańsk as the location for its first office in Poland. The company has outlined a five-year development plan.
Since 1990, this British powerhouse has been delivering IT systems and services to the global asset finance and automotive sectors. Leveraging agile methodologies and deep industry expertise, Alfa successfully delivers projects for the world’s leading leasing providers.

Impressed by the Tricity The decision followed months of discussions and careful evaluation. The expansion into Central and Eastern Europe is part of Alfa’s strategy to build a diverse and innovative global community. – The Tricity stood out with its strong tech community and became the center of our recruitment efforts for this year and beyond. During our visits, I was impressed by the energy, professionalism, and openness of the local IT community, as well as the beauty and culture of the region – said Andrew Flegg, Chief Technology Officer. – This step reflects our commitment to attracting top talent. Our new colleagues will tackle the functional and technical challenges of implementing a platform designed for clients financing everything from sports cars to satellites.

A trusted local partner, Develocraft is well-equipped to support this new investor. Alongside Invest in Pomerania – a regional initiative coordinated by the Pomerania Development Agency – they provided all the necessary information for a localization decision. – A reference visit to Gdańsk was a turning point for Alfa. The decision-makers were impressed by the business potential and the maturity of the local labor market. The Infoshare conference made a huge impact – they saw firsthand how vibrant and well-organized our tech ecosystem is – said Kamil Parafiniuk, Board Member at Develocraft. Data Template, a global IT service provider, is setting up an office in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius to support its expansion in Europe. The company provides software engineering services including application development, big data, AI/ML, DevOps, embedded systems, and cloud engineering to its mainly US client base. Attracted by Lithuania’s highly-educated, multilingual talent pool and innovation-friendly business environment, Data Template plans to hire 5-10 engineers in the next 6 months and up to 50 full-time employees in the coming 3 years.

Its customer base spans multiple industries, including healthcare, manufacturing, and financial services, and includes a significant partnership with a San Francisco-based company. Data Template is now focused on global expansion, with a strong emphasis on Europe. This expansion prompted the company to look for a delivery location in Europe that could service clients in the US and Europe while also serving as a technology development centre. It chose Lithuania for this office thanks to the country’s tech talent and attractive conditions. Robinhood, a leading US financial services company, has established its first European hub in Lithuania. The company obtained both a Category A financial brokerage license and a crypto asset services provider license, from the Bank of Lithuania.

With a crypto asset services provider license Robinhood Europe is authorised to provide crypto asset custody, administration, and transaction services in Lithuania and across the European Economic Area. This represents the first license issued by the Bank of Lithuania under the EU’s MiCA (Markets in Crypto Assets) regulation. The Category A financial brokerage license, granted in April, allows Robinhood to offer dealing on own account services, order reception and transmission services, order execution on behalf of clients, proprietary trading, and additional financial services. With both licenses, Robinhood Europe aims to continue expanding its product offering in Europe, bringing a user-friendly investing experience to millions of customers across the region.
