What are we planning lately
Many ICT companies are increasingly looking for more
innovative solutions at an affordable cost.
They seek to implement a Digital Transformation to increase
efficiency, access and competitiveness for their business.
So many businesses have found solutions in other neighboring
countries, where fees are lower and service is efficient.
We have been thinking of organizing a Career Day in April,
where 30 Italian ICT companies will be present to get
acquainted with the Kosovo market and also to offer new
opportunities for further professional development.

Overview of the existing ICT market
120
IT-software focused businesses
• Kosovo’s ICT sector is dynamic and
constitutes a vibrant sector of the
economy.
• Based on World Bank indicators,
Kosovo’s share of ICT-related
exports (as a % of total service
exports) ranged between 10 – 15%
• for the years 2016 – 2018.
3,000
•IT professionals employed
• Many of companies are micro and small enterprises not
necessarily engaged in the ICT services sector, so an
industry association study has determined that
approximately 120 businesses are IT software-focused and
employ around 3,000 IT professionals.
• 88% of the Kosovo ICT companies are domestic, 3% have
equal ownership by Kosovar and foreign owners, and 8 %
are foreign-owned companies.
• Disaggregation by gender shows that 87% of businesses
are owned by men, and only 13% by women. Similarly, this
is mirrored in the employee gender structure in the ICT
sector, whereby the proportion of male to female
employees is 80/20%.
78%
of companies surveyed by STIKK are
engaged in export services
• The majority of companies (88%) are
owned by individuals below the age of 50.
• More than 68% of companies surveyed by
STIKK are ISO certified, and most hold
some type of technical certification (PMP,
Agile/Scrum, Microsoft etc.)
• 78% of companies surveyed by STIKK are
engaged in export services, and list price,
quality and technical know-how as their
core competitive advantages.
