In 2005, Agron establish IDS (Intercom Data Service Group), the first Albanian company able to provide services in the European market. From a small company, IDS became a giant company with around 3000 employees, 15 offices in the country and million euros annual turnover, thanks to the dedication, vision and European mentality of Agron. As the founder of one of the largest non-public companies by number of employees, Agron set a new standard in the enterprise market in Albania. This new norm, not only contributed to improve the quality of life for many citizens or direct reduction of unemployment in the country, but through career programs, IDS become vanguard in the development and preparation of new capacity human bid able to cope with the international labor market.

Although success was growing, it was not enough for an ambitious individual whose drawer was filled with creative ideas. Inspired by innovative entrepreneurship and technological developments, in 2013, Agron established “Local Web”, a company which operates in the field of marketing and online consulting. In just three years, this international company, ranked among 5 most successful online marketing companies in the Italian market, won the prestigious status of Google Premier Partner and opened its offices in the United Kingdom.
