Nearshoring is a form of outsourcing. It is the transfer of business processes or services to a nearby location. Geographical proximity not only facilitates accessibility, but both locations are usually in the same time zone and share a similar cultural mindset.
For us, nearshoring is not just an IT outsourcing trend, but has been part of our corporate culture since Riwers was founded. With Bratislava, we have chosen a location that guarantees stability, the rule of law and a high level of education. We have now built a team of over 60 developers in Slovakia.

Why nearshoring in Bratislava?
Bratislava fulfils all the important criteria that make it an ideal nearshoring location. The capital of Slovakia is an up-and-coming technology centre with a high level of education and a large pool of talented IT experts. In addition to expertise, the country is economically and politically stable and easy to reach if, for example, a workshop is required. Furthermore, Slovakia “ticks” culturally similar to Central and Western European countries, which facilitates communication and collaboration.
