With EPAM's new Digital Engineering Center, the company hopes to position the office as a premium services destination.

"Malaga, a technology center for almost two decades, has recently attracted more multinational companies who are taking advantage of the exceptionally attractive quality of life, and the influx of some of the best talent from Spain, as well as the Americas, Western and Eastern Europe and Asia," said Viktar Dvorkin, SVP & Head of Global Delivery, EPAM.
