US company Fiverr has launched its new online marketplace in Germany which is designed to connect businesses with freelancers that offer a wide range of digital services. Germany is the first market that Fiverr has expanded to outside its home nation. Fiverr wants to provide SMEs, start-ups and entrepreneurs in Germany with access to experts globally via its Fiverr.de site. According to Fiverr, Germany is their most important growth market, although working with freelancers and outsourcings services is still relatively new in this country.
