Digital publishing and content marketing solutions company Issuu has opened a new office in Braga, Portugal, dedicated to hiring local talent, according to a press release.
Issuu's new office will be located in Rua Cidade do Porto and the company plans to hire around 25 employees by the end of the year. New hires will initially be recruited to focus on Issuu's content publishing and marketing SaaS platform
"Over the past year, Issuu has seen unprecedented growth as digital content fuels the creator economy," Issuu CEO Joe Hyrkin said in the release. "Braga is the ideal location to hire technical talent, especially given the efforts by Mayor Ricardo Rio over the last decade to build a startup ecosystem and create relationships between companies, local government and the innovation-driven University of Minho."
"This new team will collaborate closely with our Copenhagen and Berlin offices as we continue to develop Issuu as a sustainable, one-stop destination for creators to publish and share content online," Hyrkin said. "We're excited to open this new office and look forward to becoming part of the local tech community."
Braga is home to the region's second highest rate of higher education students in science and technology giving the company an extensive pool to draw talented new hires from.
Founded in Palo Alto, California, in 2006, Issuu is the largest SaaS content publishing and marketing platform in the world and hosts more than 30 million publications.
