WEGO has chosen to establish its Centre of Excellence for social media and mobile product development in Jakarta.
“Indonesia is a market of high strategic importance to Wego, where we have been investing and seeing great results, but it also serves as a base from which we can produce innovative work in mobile and social media,” said Ross Veitch, Wego co-founder & CEO.
“The landscape, talent available and proximity to Wego’s global headquarters in Singapore make Jakarta the ideal location for this focused development activity,” he added.
Wego said in a press statement that the social media team’s immediate focus would be on developing new applications and features that leverage the power of social networks. The mobile team, meanwhile, will focus on creating mobile apps for users across existing and emerging mobile platforms.
Led by Indonesia managing director, Graham Hills, Wego has more than doubled its investment in the country in the past six months. Its Indonesia team, which operates out of new offices in Kuningan, is expected to grow to 50 staff by the end of the year.
