Call from Ermal Beqiri – Programmers, leave Albania
The departure I propose is not a physical one, but rather like sending a finished treasure to global markets, and not just raw material. A project fully realized here is like a cut diamond, worth ten times more than a rough stone sent elsewhere for finishing..
Ermal Beqiri, an experienced and visionary Albanian professional, he emphasizes that Albania now has a generation of programmers and technology professionals who are no longer just implementers of foreign ideas. They are ready to take on large projects, create products with an Albanian stamp and export them to international markets..
Run away to stay, stronger than ever
The request for removal that presents Ermal Beqiri It is not a call to abandon the country, but to change the approach. He emphasizes that Albanian programmers must move away from the mentality of working as subcontractors and enter new markets as creators and leaders of their own projects.
In today’s world of technology and global communication, physical distance is no longer a barrier. Albanian programmers can create and export from their offices in Tirana, Durrës, or anywhere else in the country, without having to permanently leave.
Why do we need to change the approach?
• Increasing added value: By creating and exporting completed projects, we significantly increase our economic value and influence in global markets.
• Professional autonomy: Albanian programmers are now capable of leading complete projects, moving beyond the role of simple subcontractors.
• Economic sustainability: Instead of exporting our knowledge as a source of cheap labor, we should export our products, thus preserving the value created domestically.
A new reality
Ermal Beqiri believes that the time has come to acknowledge that this is no longer just an aspiration – it is a reality. In Albania, there are companies and individuals who are already exporting completed projects to international markets. This trend should be extended and become the norm, not the exception.
Albanian programmers are ready to compete with the best in the world. The only thing that needs to change is our perception of ourselves and the way we present ourselves in the global market.
My call to programmers – by Ermal Beqiri
Run! Run to sell your projects, to compete in international markets, to build a global reputation. But don’t run away from Albania. Stay here and develop your ideas. Create a value chain that supports the Albanian economy and gives you the opportunity to work globally, while living and creating in your own country.
The future is here.
Leaving is not a necessity. It is a choice – and we can make that choice without leaving the country. We can leave our limitations, but not our roots. Albanian programmers are ready to lead, and it is time for the world to learn this.
Leave while staying. Build here, sell there. Albania can be your center, while global markets will be your horizon.
