adesso celebrates the opening of its new branch at the Kiel Science Park today. An initial group of 35 employees at this location will support a range of customers, in particular public authorities, with their digitalisation projects. Another key focus of the new office will be SAP projects – an area in which adesso’s SAP consultancy, adesso orange AG, has already been active in the region for many years. The employees from adesso orange AG will now work alongside adesso’s new staff at the site in Kiel. The teams will occupy one floor of the Hermann-Kobold building in Kiel, sharing a total of 350 square metres of office space.
The German states of Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania offer adesso a market with growth potential as the region has so far been without an established IT service provider. adesso’s aim is for the new location to boost the economy in northern Germany as a whole and keep it competitive through the provision of IT consulting services, software development and IT solutions. Like the other adesso locations, the new office stands to benefit from being part of the adesso Group’s powerful network, which currently employs over 8,300 people at more than 50 sites throughout Europe.
In addition to the proximity to public authorities in the state capital and to corporate customers, the short distance to the renowned Christian Albrechts University of Kiel was also crucial in the choice of location. adesso works closely with the university on a number of projects, one of which saw over 60 students develop an app to enable digital civic engagement in the summer of 2022. Some of them were recruited as working students at the new location to give them practical experience at one of Germany’s largest IT service providers at the same time as studying.
