Acendae Expands Sri Lankan Tech Team as European Demand Grows for AI-Ready Talent

As artificial intelligence continues to reshape the global technology industry, Sri Lankan software company Acendae is expanding its local engineering and design team to meet growing demand from startups, scaleups, and digital agencies across Europe.

The expansion follows the company's recent brand refresh and marks another step in its strategy to position Sri Lankan talent at the forefront of AI-enabled software development.

Headquartered in the Netherlands with a growing presence in Sri Lanka, Acendae partners with European businesses by building dedicated remote teams that integrate directly into their organizations. Rather than operating as a traditional outsourcing provider, the company focuses on creating long-term partnerships where Sri Lankan engineers and designers work as an extension of clients' in-house teams.

AI is changing how software teams work

Across Europe, companies are increasingly looking for technology professionals who can combine strong technical expertise with the ability to leverage artificial intelligence throughout the software development process.

From accelerating coding and testing to improving design workflows and product delivery, AI has become an essential productivity tool for modern engineering teams.

According to Acendae, this shift is changing hiring priorities across the European technology sector.

"We're seeing a clear change in what companies expect from software teams," said Pramuka Godakanda, Founder of Acendae.

"It's no longer enough to simply write great code. Businesses want teams that know how to use AI effectively to solve problems faster, deliver higher-quality products, and help them innovate at speed. That's exactly where Sri Lankan talent has a tremendous opportunity."

Investing in Sri Lankan talent

To support this growing demand, Acendae is expanding its Sri Lankan team across software engineering, UI/UX design, WordPress development, quality assurance, and AI-assisted product development.

The company says its recruitment strategy focuses not only on technical capability but also on professionals who embrace modern development practices and continuously adapt to emerging technologies.

By combining skilled Sri Lankan professionals with AI-powered workflows, Acendae aims to help European companies accelerate product development while maintaining quality and controlling operational costs.

Strengthening Sri Lanka's global reputation

Sri Lanka has steadily earned recognition as a destination for high-quality software engineering talent. Acendae believes the country's strong technical education, English proficiency, and collaborative work culture make it well positioned to support international technology companies navigating rapid digital transformation.

The company hopes its continued growth will contribute to creating more opportunities for Sri Lankan professionals to work on international products without leaving the country.

"Our vision has always been to create opportunities where talented Sri Lankan professionals can build world-class products for global companies," Godakanda added.

"We believe AI won't replace great engineers or designers—it will empower them. By investing in our people and helping them adopt the latest technologies, we're preparing Sri Lankan talent for the future of software development."

Looking ahead

As demand for AI-enabled digital products continues to rise, Acendae plans to further expand its Sri Lankan operations while strengthening partnerships with European startups, SaaS companies, scaleups, and digital agencies.

The company says it will continue investing in talent development, AI-driven delivery practices, and long-term international collaborations as it enters its next phase of growth.
