Sigma Technology and University of Pristina start strategic partnership in Kosovo
In late January, Sigma Technology Group, together with Appbites, and the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Pristina in Kosovo signed a five-year memorandum of cooperation. This partnership marks a significant step in fostering cross-country collaboration in knowledge exchange, industry development, and research.
The University of Pristina, the largest public university in Kosovo and a member of the European University Association, is one of the leading educational institutions in the country. The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering offers education in mechanical engineering, industry, technology, transportation, and related fields. The faculty’s strategic development plan emphasizes the involvement of national and international capacities in scientific research and development activities and the identification of strategic partners in the private sector.
Sigma Technology Group plans to initiate internship programs and lab collaborations in mechatronics, electronics, embedded systems and hardware development, and emerging technologies.
“We see numerous synergies with the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Pristina. With their dedicated automotive, robotics, and electronics labs we will be able to cooperate on embedded hardware and software development projects, enabling cross-country cooperation, and contributing with industry insights and practical examples. We also aim to explore opportunities for student exchange, master thesis, and internship projects,” says Mattias Gudasic, CTO at Sigma Technology Embedded Solutions.
This partnership aligns with Sigma Technology’s and Appbites’ ambition to become a top three employer in Kosovo in the coming years.
“As a knowledge company, we believe that a better tomorrow can be achieved with education and innovation. We have always believed in the synergy between industry and academia and have successfully collaborated with tech universities in Sweden, Ukraine, and Hungary. Through our partnership with the University of Pristina, we aim to support the academic staff and students in translating academic research into real-world applications, enhancing the quality of education through practical exposure, and ensuring that graduates are well-prepared to meet the demands of the evolving job market in Kosovo,” says Niklas Malmros, President at Sigma Technology Solutions Group.
“We have already been collaborating with the University of Pristina mainly on software development profiles, and now we look forward to expanding our focus into embedded services, particularly PCB board design. Through this partnership, students will undertake internships at Sigma and Appbites, working on real-world use cases from Sigma in Sweden right here in the University’s labs. At the same time, teaching assistants and professors will actively contribute their knowledge, creating a dynamic environment that fosters innovation, hands-on learning, and professional growth for both academia and industry, and I think this is an excellent opportunity for both University and Industry,” says Arianit Pajaziti, CEO at Appbites.
