The global ITO market is shrinking. Businesses everywhere are facing challenges, and the rise of AI is changing the game fast.
As an IT service provider, you may be wondering:
⦾ Where is the market now?
⦾ Besides traditional markets like Japan, the US, or Singapore – are there other options?
⦾ What about Europe? What’s happening there?
⦾ What are the new requirements to enter the European ITO market?
⦾ And most importantly: Are you ready to explore Europe?
On July 21st, Ways2Germany will host a workshop in Ho Chi Minh City to help answer these questions.
We’ll share updates on the ITO market in Europe and Germany, discuss new AI-related requirements, and explore what it takes to go global.
We’ll also work with you to see if your services are a fit for the German market – and how we can support your journey step by step.
