The story

IPKO was founded as a non-government organisation in 1999. The IPKO name derived from Internet Project Kosovo. In 2001, the organisation transitioned into a company: IPKO Net. In 2006, IPKO was bought by Telekom Slovenije. In 2007, IPKO started mobile operations, becoming the second mobile operator in Kosovo.

Telekom Slovenije put IPKO up for sale in July 2019 with an EBIDTA of 30 million Euros. For a brief time, Telekom Srbija offered to buy the company for 155 million Euros whereas the entrepreneur Shkëlqim Devolli (owner of the Devolli Corporation, which operates the competitor Artmotion) offered 153 million Euros. The sale was rejected by ARKEP, Kosovo's regulatory authority for telecommunication.

In July 2023, IPKO gained a 5G license. IPKO is the largest foreign investment company in Kosovo, which for 15 years of its operation it has invested €400,000,000 in mobile and fixed infrastructure.
