Bearing
in mind the strong growth that the IT sector has recorded recent years in BiH,
FIPA and Bit Alijansa will contribute to further improve the economic
opportunities of this sector, and to improve the legal framework for its
development and attraction of new foreign investors. They will also work on
joint promotion of this sector both in BiH and abroad, and will encourage and
coordinate research and development of technical and technological
achievements.
This
domain of economy is growing day by day and has all the preconditions to
become the driving force of economic development, and reducing unemployment. It
is also a sector that can assist countries in transition effectively in
technological progress but also participate in industrial development of the
country.
Bit
Alijansa is the umbrella association of 29 IT companies operating in Bosnia and
Herzegovina. The member companies currently employ more than 2000 employees and
the goal of the activities that Bit Alijansa implements, is to reduce the
deficit of qualified staff and to educate experts in the IT sector. By
continuously promoting the IT sector and the potentials created within it, the
Bit Alijansa encourages young people to choose software engineering as their
career choice.
