By Ankit Rawat·Published: September 2, 2026 at 5:32 PM ISTWhy Italian businesses are exploring software development companies in India
ICT job postings in Italy have increased by 136,000 in 2024 and they grew by 90,000 in the first nine months of the next year, according to a report of Anitec-Assinform and Talents Venture 2025, “The Italy of new skills”. Cybersecurity postings also increased very fast, up to 70% over the same time period. This is proof that local hiring is not enough to fulfil the demand. This gap is the reason Italian businesses, from manufacturing and finance companies to newer digital businesses, are looking to software development companies in India. The focus is, instead of reducing the quality, to access engineering talent that the Italian local market is not able to provide quickly enough, without putting more pressure on already limited hiring budgets.
What software development companies in India typically offer Italian businesses
Italy has multiple sized businesses; the needs of small and medium-sized businesses can be different from those of large-sized businesses. Many businesses need to modernise their systems, which have been used for decades or build a focused digital product without taking on a large enterprise-level engagement. The development partner who works with these businesses typically offers custom software development, web and mobile development, QA, and right-sized teams based on the requirements of the project instead of building a one-size-fits-all package. Italy's PNRR-led push to modernise public and private-sector systems has also increased this demand.
What Italian businesses should look for in a development partner
There are some things that are necessary; first is GDPR. It is most important and non-negotiable. The partner should be able to clearly explain data residency and processing agreements rather than giving generic assurance.
Communication style also matters for Italian businesses. They prefer direct and regular discussion instead of using ticket-based communication. Before choosing a suitable partner, you need to check whether they can work through requirements and can solve them in real-time calls.
CET overlap is also one of the factors; enough working-hours overlap to keep decisions moving without losing a day because of time-zone differences.
