A perfect example of this is the dynamically growing EPAM Systems. The company first occupied two floors in Olivia Four, and now it is opening a new, two-storey office in Olivia Prime. Subsequently, EPAM Systems will develop on parallel floors in core B of the same building – says Jakub Jastrzębski, Senior Associate at Olivia Business Centre.

Olivia Business Centre is much more than buildings – there are plenty of amenities, and the developer is constantly creating new ones to integrate and activate tenants in a non-standard way – also through sports, including sailing. – One of the integration elements promoted in Olivia is yachting. Along with the office space, we have made available to EPAM Systems a racing yacht as part of the Business Sailing League, in which, of course, the crew of Olivia Business Centre also competes – adds Maciej Kotarski, Director of the Leasing Department at Olivia Business Centre. – Sailing together brings teams together and builds the employer’s brand fantastically. We race on identical Delfia 24 vessels – it is a demanding yacht, and we compete fiercely with each other, but always fair play. Many people from EPAM Systems, from different cities and even countries where EPAM branches are located, have expressed their willingness to swim in the regatta.
