Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT)
Your Gateway to Romania’s Tech Ecosystem
Looking to establish your operations in Eastern Europe without the complexity of starting from scratch?

What Makes Our BOT Different?
We Are Not Just Administrators — We’re Builders
We’ve built and scaled our own teams. From day one, you benefit from our hands-on experience in growing high-performing tech operations.
Synergy with Our Outsourcing Services
Need to scale faster? Our in-house experts can fill any technical gaps while your dedicated team is being built. You can start with outsourcing, evolve into a BOT, and take full ownership when the time is right — all with the same partner.
Regulatory and Fiscal Mastery
With years of experience supporting international clients, we know the legal, tax, and labor frameworks like the back of our hand. From work contracts to GDPR to VAT registration — we ensure a smooth landing on Romanian soil for your business.

Vast Tech Talent Pool
With over 150,000 IT professionals, Romania is a magnet for global tech companies, thanks to strong university programs and a work culture aligned with EU norms.
Cost Advantage
