As can be understood from the message transmitted to the editorial office by the official representative of Panoramik, there is no talk at the moment about inviting employees to work in Cyprus or about plans to launch an additional office where people could settle.

The company offers to continue cooperation to people who are in the process of relocation or have already left Russia, in a remote format from any point suitable for them on the world map.

Panoramik emphasizes that it has never had and does not have official representative offices in the country. The company calls Russian employees “attracted specialists”.

Panoramik, thanks to investments, has increased revenue tenfold, and AppQuantum’s commercial performance has doubled in the first months of strategic cooperation with the Vologda-based company.
