Unity Technologies has opened a Shanghai office, which is the ninth regional office for the company. Led by Microsoft veteran Allen Foo, Unity will look to expand its support for developers in the region.
“We’ve been aggressively expanding Unity into Asia for over a year and opening offices in Shanghai is a big move for us to meet high demand in China,” said Unity CEO David Helgason. “Partnerships with key Chinese internet firms, agreements with local software resellers, and opening of the China office are all part of a dedication to support the Chinese development community as intensely as we’ve supported it in the west.”
Unity also revealed two deals with Chinese technology companies. China Cache will provide 12,000 servers to help meet demand for the Unity Web Player and Qihoo 360 will handle distribution of the middleware.
