Outsourcing Destination Guide Albania

There are currently 3,349 active enterprises that operate in the Information and Communication sector in Albania (AIDA, 2024), where 843 were registered in 2020. Out of these enterprises 440 operate in Telecommunication, 1,606 operate in Computer programming, consultancy and related activities, and 574 in Information service activities.

We present with the Outsourcing Destination Guide Albania the conditions, capabilities and actors of the Albanian ICT sector. Furthermore, we showcase unique solutions by Albanian industry experts in the form of case studies, project reports and have talked to local industry leaders about their operations and perspective.

As a result, we help decision-makers better understand the local conditions and opportunities for both: working with IT- and business process service providers in Albania or investing in their own delivery center operations.

March 2024 – In cooperation with SIB Startup Incubator Berlin and HTW (University of Applied Science Berlin) we organised a workshop specifically for German startup founders to explain the opportunities and conditions when working with ICT servcies providers in foreign markets. We talked about availabilities and collaboration models as well as IT sourcing strategies.

The Ukrainian IT companies showed incredible resilience and already had strategies in place to counter the disruptions due to the Russian invasion. We continue to support Ukrainian IT companies in their efforts to provide uninterrupted services to our markets.
