“Listed Hungarian IT company Graphisoft SE said it will erect a statue to commemorate Steve Jobs, the tech pioneer who died on Oct. 5 after a battle with cancer,” Veronika Gulyas reports for The Wall Street Journal.
“‘Graphisoft considers Steve Jobs the greatest hero of information age,’ the company said in a statement,” Gulyas reports. “Graphisoft said Mr. Jobs played a major role in the global success of its architectural design software, ArchiCAD… Apple gave us cash and computers at a time when Graphisoft was a young company with very limited resources; the technology represented by those computers wasn’t available in our part of the world,’ Graphisoft said. ‘Many say that Steve Jobs’ greatest merit was his vision: he understood where the world was headed. But we believe there is more to it. Steve not only understood where the world was going; he shaped its future,'”
Gulyas reports, “The statue, to be inaugurated Dec. 21, will be erected in a science park that hosts several information technology companies, including Graphisoft.”
