Databricks is bolstering its footprint in the EMEA region by enlarging its present office area in London while simultaneously establishing new offices in Munich, Tel Aviv, and Zurich.
The company aims to hire more employees in the region, with a goal of reaching 1,000 employees in the coming months.
To support digital natives and start-ups, Databricks will establish a new dedicated EMEA team called the Velocity practice.
