One of the world's largest IT companies, IBM, is considering opening a plant in Poland that would employ up to 3,000 people.

The Polish towns of Katowice and Wrocław are competing against the Egyptian capital, Cairo, and Bucharest in Romania for the investment, according to Gazeta Wyborcza.

“The heads of the American [IT] giant visited Katowice and Wrocław last week,” an anonymous IBM Polska employee told the daily. “They spoke with the mayors of both cities and viewed a presentation of each [proposed] facility. The IBM delegates were extremely impressed with the presentation by the Wrocław University of Technology. The [presentation by] Katowice fared far worse,” the source said.

IBM Polska representatives did not confirm the news. (RG)
