American tech giant AMD will move its design center opened in 2021 in Iasi to Palas Campus, the office project by IULIUS. AMD, which designs high-performance and adaptive computing solutions for the IT industry, will occupy 2,900 sqm in the mixed-use project scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2023.

Palas Campus is fully leased and developing as a regional hub for innovation in various fields. “We are delighted that AMD joined the business community in Palas Campus, considering the project as the ideal place for its team.
