Nosotek is the first western invested IT joint venture company in North Korea.

Nosotek was founded in 2008 by the North Korean General Federation of Science and Technology (GFST) and the foreign entrepreneurs Felix Abt and Volker Eloesser.

Nosotek got known for developing computer games for various platforms, such as iPhone, j2me and Wii.

The main target market is Europe, but there also have been rumours that Nosotek also has been developing games for the US based News Corporation.[1]

In 2012, Nosotek developed Pyongyang Racer, a browser-based racing video game, to promote tourism to North Korea.[2]
