Until now, Uber has always kept its offices, development centers and activities in the United States. Although the company is now preparing for its first foray into Europe. They will do so with the opening of a Center for Advanced Technologies, whose headquarters will be located in Paris. The company is going to invest 20 million euros in this center in the French capital.
In the same investigations will be carried out, in addition to the creation of UberElevate services. This means that the flying taxis, among other vehicles, that the company wants to launch, will be produced or developed in Paris.
This is the most recent division of the company, that this same week it lost its director. But this is one of the firm's most ambitious projects, as they seek to be one of the first companies in the sector to enter the air vehicle market.
Uber's decision to leave the United States is of enormous importance. Furthermore, it comes at a time when the company's activities are more questioned than ever in its home country. So everything indicates that it is not a coincidence.
It is also part of the new strategy of the CEO of the company to do things in a different way. In an attempt to change the course of Uber, in addition to improving its image after the many scandals that have affected the company in recent months.
Everything indicates that This center will not be the only one that Uber opens outside the United States. It is rumored that the firm would be looking for other places to settle, since they want a new headquarters before 2020. But nothing is known about the chosen place. Regarding the center that will open in Paris, we do not have an opening date yet. We hope to hear more details soon.
