Intel Romania announced the expansion of its local team with the addition of 35 employees from the newly acquired education software specialist Kno whose only educational software development centre in Europe is located in the Romanian city of Cluj-Napoca, according to local online publication Hotnews.ro. Until 8 November, the 35 employees worked for US-based company Kno which Intel acquired at a global level. The main activities of the local team in Cluj consist of digitising classic books and working on a digital platform for the interaction between students and teachers in the classroom.
The centre in Cluj works for international markets, but Intel said it does not exclude partnerships with Romanian publishers and software companies for the digitisation of educational books in the Romanian language.
Following the acquisition of Kno by Intel, the digital content of the Intel Education Solutions library reaches up to 225,000 book titles for schools and universities through partnerships with 75 publishers of educational books. The Kno applications can be run on various devices and operating systems. Kno has several educational software development centres in the US and India and its single office in Europe is based in Cluj-Napoca.
