Google confirmed its plans to open a new office in Poland, although the search giant already has a research center in Krakow. According to The Herald Sun, Google will create 200 new jobs and will enhance the technology of the city in the upcoming months when the company aims to hire new employees quickly. The company aims to hire approximately 200 engineers in one or two years, making it an important office in this part of Europe.

"With Google, we can practically be attractive for any large company that is in the innovation sector, because they always go in herds," said Pawel Panczyj, who heads an office that promotes foreign investment in Wroclaw. "Wroclaw has already attracted a number of foreign investors in recent years, including Hewlett-Packard Co., General Electric Co., Siemens AG and Nokia Corp", the same publication reported.

As you know, Google has several offices in the entire world, offering regional products for every country. Take the example of UK where Google already has a regional version of the company. Today, the search giant revealed Checkout UK, a special version of the online paying system especially built for the country.

Although there are a lot of new Google offices opened once in a while, only one deserves to be noticed. At this time, Google struggles to conquer China using multiple ways. One of them was of course the new Chinese office and partnerships with the local giants. Recently, it was reported that Google managed to acquire a part of Maxthon browser, an application designed by a Chinese developer with millions of users in every corner of the world. Maybe Google now aims to conquer Poland and other countries in the region such as Romania and Hungary.
