Ubisoft to strengthen presence in Morocco; plans 150 recruitments by 2010

PARIS (Thomson Financial) - French games developer Ubisoft Entertainment said it is to strengthen its presence in Morocco with 'the expansion of its studio in Casablanca', and plans to recruit 150 extra staff by 2010.

The group said in a statement that it already employs 50 staff in Morocco, and plans to take on young talent from 'local engineering and art schools.'

Ubisoft opened its Casablanca studio in 1998, and is the only developer present in Morocco, or in Northern Africa.
