Hi Julia,
There was an update to this post but I’ve not caught any other news on this yet.
Dear Sir/Madam,
do you have at your disposal any further (updated) information regarding Google’s R&D center(s) in Russia?
On behalf of Robert Bosch’s senior management I am doing some study on R&D carried on by foreign companies in Russia (Google in particular) and would greatly apprecite if you could provide me with such information.
Thank you!
With kind regards
