IT-Academy, a software development training business based at ololoHaus, Osh. For IT-Academy, a project of the Kyrgyz Software and Services Developers Association (KSSDA), whose slogan is “Live in Kyrgyzstan, work with the world”, ololo's regional expansion was a reason to change its office to a space in ololohausOsh to join a community sharing its values. Young people study programming and after graduating earn up to US $500, which is 2.3 times more than the average salary in the country.
“IT-Academy's goal is to educate 50,000 programmers in Kyrgyzstan by the end of 2030. When ololo opened a space in Osh we moved here from another place as we share the same values”, says KSSDA chairman, Azis Abakirov.

"When I moved here, I acquired more customers, because here in Osh, people really pay attention to how your office looks. If it's beautiful, they are impressed and ready to trust you. Now I also have two employees", Aiperi says.
