It was undoubtedly a year full of many challenges in all aspects of personal lives and in the business world. It was an atypical year that left profit and loss on the balance sheet, and went beyond testing us month by month; it gave us the opportunity to demonstrate why I always say that Softtek was born to thrive, not to survive.

We managed to develop more than 60 projects through our digital platform, supporting dozens of social service organizations around the world. To face the challenges caused by the pandemic, we made available to the community what we do best: leverage technology for social good

Through the solutions we oer, under the slogan “Help for Helping Better,” we achieved a common goal: we helped social service organizations generate a greater impact in the community. The accumulated benefit through the end of 2020 is summarized in supporting more than 20 organizations, benefitting more than 250,000 people.
