Accenture Federal Services to Locate Advanced Technology Center in St. Louis, Missouri
06/24/2020
The AFS Advanced Technology Center, to be located at 520 Maryville Centre Drive in St. Louis County, is expected to bring up to 1,400 new technology jobs to the St. Louis area over five years, according to company officials.
John Goodman, AFS CEO, said, “The region’s skilled talent, vibrant technology ecosystem and strong commitment to collaboration between government, civic, business, academic and community partners make St. Louis the ideal location for our new Advanced Technology Center. We are thrilled to provide our people and new hires a great place to do work that matters by expanding our operations in this area.”
AllianceSTL President and CEO Steve Johnson said, “The selection of St. Louis signifies Accenture’s continued confidence in the region as an optimal location to do business, and the addition of 1,400 new jobs will enrich our already-thriving technology climate. We worked in close collaboration throughout this process with our great partners at the St. Louis Economic Development Partnership, the Missouri Partnership, the Missouri Department of Economic Development, and Ameren Missouri.”
“We’re proud to welcome Accenture Federal Services to Missouri where we’re developing the next generation of tech talent,” Governor Mike Parson said. “Missouri is already recognized as one of the most prepared states for the digital economy, and at a time when many Missourians are looking for work, this move will create more opportunity, grow our technology workforce, and strengthen our standing as a technology hub in the U.S.”
The AFS Advanced Technology Center will collaborate closely with the AFS Cyber and Advanced Technology Centers in San Antonio, Texas; the Accenture Federal Digital Studio in Washington, D.C.; and specialized centers in Niagara Falls, New York, and Chesapeake, Virginia. Ali Bokhari, Managing Director of AFS’ delivery center network, said, “Together, this network provides an unmatched ability to design and deliver modern solutions for our federal clients at speed and at scale.”
