Newsrael News Desk 29.06.2022
Around 50 employees were notified on Sunday that they will be laid off after the Chinese e-commerce giant decided to shut down local development.
Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba is closing down its R&D center in Israel. The company notified its local employees on Sunday of its plans to shut the center and lay off around 50 employees. Lihi Zelnik Manor, General Manager at Alibaba Israel, left the company in November of last year and was never replaced. Alibaba Israel is believed to have employed dozens of experts in the fields of AI, product, and cloud and mobile software engineering.
It is unclear whether the closure of the center is due to dissatisfaction regarding its activity or is related to the global slowdown in the tech sector.
