Driving innovation by unearthing and developing talent from across the globe

The Spanish company everis provides major clients with comprehensive IT services ranging from consulting to system integration and outsourcing, and as part of this it engages in cultivating "talent as a driver of progress." Based on its philosophy that "talent transforms society," everis established the everis foundation in 2001 to return to society the talent it acquired and to produce a sustainable future. The foundation acts as an engine for unearthing and encouraging talent in countries in which everis does business and leverages everis' capabilities for projects involving education, science, innovation and entrepreneurial spirit.
