Why EU locations matter
Nearshore in the EU means: no third-country transfers, full GDPR compliance, EU labor law and cultural proximity to DACH companies. Unlike offshore locations in India or Vietnam, there are no 4–8 hour time-zone differences, language barriers or legal uncertainties. EU nearshore is the safe choice for regulated industries and data-driven products.
Our locations
Our nearshore delivery partner operates engineering centers in Romania, Bulgaria and Poland — countries with strong technical universities, growing IT communities and a tradition of DACH-oriented services. Teams work from modern offices with redundant infrastructure, fiber internet and backup systems. All locations are in EU member states with full legal certainty.
Talent pool and qualifications
In Romania, Bulgaria and Poland, over 500,000 IT professionals and developers work — many with DACH project experience, fluent English and modern tech stacks. Universities in Bucharest, Sofia and Warsaw rank among Europe's leading STEM institutions. Thousands of graduates enter the market annually.
Time zones and availability
All our locations are in the UTC+2 time zone (CET+1) — maximum one hour difference from Frankfurt, Vienna or Zurich. Daily stand-ups, ad-hoc syncs and pair programming work in real time, without anyone needing to work at night. This is the biggest advantage over offshore.
Infrastructure and security
Our locations feature enterprise-grade infrastructure: redundant internet connections, UPS systems, physical access controls and encrypted connections. For clients with elevated security requirements we offer dedicated networks, VPN tunnels and ISO 27001-compliant processes.
