Ubisoft Berlin received $1.8 million from the Berlin City Hall
The Berlin administration approved a subsidy of $1.8 million (€1.58 million) for the German division of Ubisoft, which opened in the German capital in January 2018. The funding will help increase the studio’s staff from 50 to 150 jobs.
“Berlin has become a center of attraction for creative people and global companies. I am glad to welcome one of the most famous companies of the gaming industry in our city,” wrote Berlin Mayor and Senator for Economic Affairs Ramona Pop on Twitter.
