IT Solutions For All is a non-profit NGO that seeks training in ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) for those people who lack the necessary knowledge to function comfortably in the technological world in which we find ourselves. Information and communication technologies (ICT) sometimes referred to as news information and communication technologies (NICT) are a concept closely associated with computing. If the latter is understood as the set of resources, procedures and techniques used in the processing, storage and transmission of the information, this definition has been nuanced by ICTs, since, it is not enough to speak of a computer when referring to information processing. The Internet can be a part of that processing which may be carried out in a distributed and remote manner.

The High School of the City of Skopje "Lazar Tanev" is the largest secondary vocational school in our country that educates, trains and produces personnel for the needs of the catering and tourism industry of the Republic of North Macedonia. Annually, around 500 full-time students are educated here for: waiter, chef, confectioner and baker with a three-year education and hotel and tourism technician with a four-year education. The school also educates a larger number of students with part-time education for all educational profiles related to the catering and tourism industry, as well as with specialist education: chef-specialist, confectioner-specialist and waiter-specialist. Considering the location, communication links and natural beauties that the Republic of North Macedonia abounds with, it is increasingly becoming a country that can welcome a large number of domestic and foreign tourists. The tourism industry is of paramount importance for our country and is one of the main priorities for its social, economic and cultural development. The first contact of foreign visitors with the country is through professionals from the hospitality and tourism industry, who provide tourists with initial information about the country's distinctive features, cultural and historical monuments, natural beauties, national cuisine, and its hospitality. This creates the need for well-trained professionals with a broad general education and modern practical training. The entire educational activity at the school is aimed at producing staff who will fully meet the requirements of modern hospitality and tourism, providing the most favorable values of expertise and adaptability to the market.
Xera Srl is an innovative IT company with a strong focus on sustainability, specializing in the rollout of new devices and the recovery of end-of-life technology. Committed to the circular economy, Xera prioritizes eco-sustainable practices, particularly in managing electronic waste (WEEE).

To address this global issue, Xera launched the WEEKO 2025 Agenda, a program aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to reduce electronic waste through advanced refurbishing and recycling. WEEKO promotes ethical e-waste management, combats illegal exports, and aims to increase the global legal recycling rate. Xera’s commitment has been recognized by Il Sole 24 Ore, ranking it among Italy’s top 10 sustainable companies, and in 2024, it received the EEPA Award as the only Italian company in the "Supporting the Sustainable Transition" category. Beyond sustainability, Xera strives to create a positive social impact. WEEKO fosters inclusive job opportunities, employing individuals with disabilities in IT device refurbishment and donating equipment to underserved communities in Italy, Africa, and Asia. Key initiatives include digital literacy programs in Mombasa’s juvenile prison, women’s empowerment projects, and business training for young entrepreneurs.
