BRNO, Czechia, June 12, 2024 — Kyndryl (NYSE: KD), the world's largest IT infrastructure services provider, today announced the opening of its new Kyndryl Collaborative Czechia office space in Brno's Vlněna business park. Combining the rich historic architecture of an old cotton factory with cutting-edge design, Kyndryl Collaborative Czechia covers approximately 5,000 square meters and is designed to harness our local tech talent to drive innovation and help our customers modernize their IT estates.
“Kyndryl’s announcement today is a testament to its ongoing commitment to Brno and the development of IT skills, which are in high demand. This new space is a significant step forward, and I look forward to further collaboration with Kyndryl within the entire region," said Jan Grolich, Governor of South Moravia.

Using world-class processes, tools and best practices, Kyndryl Collaborative Czechia’s customers are market leaders, spanning automotive, banking and retail.
