Increasing market access of the Albanian IT and BPO sectors aims to enable the local IT and BPO companies to diversify markets, increase sales and investment, and create new jobs.

Our strategy for increasing market access of IT and BPO sector is built around two main pillars: i) developing the marketing capacities of the IT and BPO companies to access to the domestic and foreign markets and attract investments; ii) supporting IT and BPO companies to add value to services and respond to requirements of buyers in order enable them to secure contracts from new buyers.

One of the laters partners of RisiAlbania is Softup ltd, a software development company based in Tirana, Albania and in Munich, Germany. The firm provides software development expertise for companies based in German-speaking European countries (DACH). While employment in ICT (Information and Communication Technology) has increased in the past few years, Softup and RisiAlbania believe that more can be done to accelerate it further by embracing new trends like, remote work. The two partners are working together to address the matter and prevent brain drain.

Softup plans to launch an online platform, where European companies and Albanian developers can connect directly. The platform will help to match Albanian developers and European companies based on their needs and requirements and work together to complete IT projects. More than 50 freelances have already joined the platform that will be active in early Spring 2021.
