Some moments say more than a long roadmap ever could.

In just a few days, we officially opened our office in Bitola and sat down with the Mayor of Bitola to talk about the future. All of our steps lead to one shared direction: being present, building trust, and growing together.

Opening Our Office in the Heart of the Balkans

Our opening happened over the weekend, where we shared our big moment with the people closest to us.

We celebrated together with partners, friends, and supporters who believed in this idea from the very beginning, even when it was still just a thought. Seeing familiar faces and local collaborators in the same room reminded us why we wanted to be here in the first place.

For us, this office represents closeness.
Close to people.
Close to everyday challenges.
Close to real opportunities for digitalization.

Being physically present matters. It allows us to listen better, respond faster, and understand the context businesses operate in. The goal is still the same: to help make everyday work easier, using technology that actually fits the way people work.

A Conversation About the Future of Digitalization

It was a pleasure to meet with the Mayor of Bitola, Toni Konjanovski, to talk about growth, collaboration, and the role technology can play in strengthening local businesses.

The conversation focused on how avilo plans to work in North Macedonia and the wider Balkan region, as a technology provider, but as an even more important long-term partner. We shared how combining experience from the Norwegian and international markets with local talent and insight can help companies modernize their operations, improve efficiency, and stay competitive.

What stood out most was the shared belief in local potential. North Macedonia has skilled people, motivated companies, and a strong drive to move forward. Being part of that journey is something we take seriously.

Why These Days Matter to Us

Opening an office and meeting local leadership within the same week wasn’t planned as a statement. But looking back, it became one.

It showed what we believe in:

• Presence over distance
  
• Partnership over quick wins
  
• Long-term thinking over short-term growth
  

We’re here to build something sustainable. Step by step. Together with the people and businesses around us.

Looking Ahead

These days in Bitola are just the beginning. As we continue to grow, our focus remains the same: creating technology that helps businesses work smarter, supporting local collaboration, and staying close to the communities we’re part of.

Thank you to everyone who welcomed us so openly.
We’re excited for what comes next, and we’re ready to build it together. 💙
