Kosovar ‘ZAG Apps’ creates mobile apps for NL

“So far, we have developed around thirty mobile apps.

“What we did for our clients in The Netherlands? For example, in collaboration with Sprigs, we built an app that tracks the generated solar power, we made one app for the health care sector, and a mobile-friendly survey app.”

Three youngster from Kosovo
Before ZAG Apps was founded in 2013, its three Kosovar owners had already won a couple of awards, in their own country. It all started with a Dutch entrepreneur and the American organization USAID, back in 2011. Gojani (in the picture with a red shirt): “USAID organized an Android development training in Kosovo, and selected ten participants. Among them, they selected me and my two friends.” These three were the youngsters Zell, Agon and Gentrit, which first names form the company name ZAG Apps. After the training, they joined the business incubator program at the Innovation Center Kosovo, before founding the company and moving to their own office.

The Kosovar company is part of the last fifty, out of almost six hundred startups from the Balkans. The final pitch, in Croatia, was in front of more than one hundred investors. “We earned an offer from a business accelerator and an investor.

One of them is active in the transport industry, the other one in health care.”
