This year, we are celebrating Accace’s 18th birthday, a milestone that highlights nearly two decades of hard work, growth, and innovation. From our beginnings in Slovakia to becoming a global leader in consultancy, our journey has been marked by expansion, commitment to our clients, and a dedication to our core values. Over these 18 years, we’ve reached significant milestones that have shaped our company and set new standards in the industry.
“September in Accace is always a month of celebration! Many years ago, our founder, Jiří Majer, had a dream to start his own company focusing on Central and Eastern Europe in the beginning and slowly adding new markets and even continents,” says Mihaela Pašek-Virlan, the CEO of Accace. “I often think that we do not celebrate enough what we have achieved together as a team and most importantly, the way we have been doing business. Many companies and founders have dreams but very few manage to reach them while enjoying the journey. And Accace has remained true to its values in doing so: a business led responsibly towards its community and people without compromises when it comes to quality of the services, honesty and human approach. We are just becoming adults so we will add definitely new features. But till then, Happy Birthday Accace! I wish you many dedicated colleagues and a full new generation of leaders that will help you change the world for the better.”
Join us as we look back on 18 important moments that have defined Accace’s story and celebrate the journey that has made us who we are today.
| 2006 | Establishment of Accace Accace opened its first office in Slovakia, under the leadership of its founder and inaugural CEO, Jiří Majer. Today, Accace Slovakia proudly ranks among the top 5 consultancy firms in the country, a testament to its consistent growth and success. |
| 2007 – 2009 | European expansion Accace rapidly expanded its footprint across Europe, establishing offices in the Czech Republic, Romania, Ukraine (2007), Hungary (2008), and Poland (2009), marking the beginning of its journey as an international consultancy leader. |
| 2011 | Acquisition of Interbook Kft. Accace strengthened its presence in Hungary with the acquisition of Interbook Kft. This strategic move reinforced our foothold in the region, enhancing our local service capabilities and market influence. |
| 2012 | ISO Certification achieved Driven by the request of a key client, IBM, Accace obtained its first ISO certification in 2012. This certification not only underscored our commitment to quality but also positioned us as a trusted partner for global companies. |
