Marco Alberti, Ambassador of Italy to Albania, stated that “the task of an embassy is to promote the best of its country abroad, to create value. This is what we are doing. The opening of Lutech's new headquarters in Tirana is a tangible sign of the new strategic partnership between Italy and Albania. A fast-growing company, in a key sector for the country's development”.
Giuseppe Di Franco, CEO of Lutech Group, said in his speech that "the opening of the Tirana headquarters represents a further step in building Lutech as a European actor in the field of digital technology and Artificial Intelligence. Growing does not only mean expanding the international presence, but above all connecting talents and competencies to create value for our clients.
