Serbia’s technology sector continues to attract foreign companies seeking access to a growing pool of software engineers and competitive operating costs. One of the most recent signals of international interest comes from the Italian technology firm CSA, which has announced plans to establish operations in Serbia during 2026.
CSA specializes in digital document management, enterprise data solutions and workflow automation platforms used by corporate and public-sector clients. The company’s potential investment reflects a broader trend in which European IT companies are expanding development operations in Serbia.
The country has become one of Southeast Europe’s most dynamic technology hubs over the past decade. Serbia’s IT exports have increased rapidly, reaching more than €3.5 billion annually, making information technology one of the fastest-growing sectors in the national economy.
Government policies encouraging innovation, combined with a strong engineering education system, have supported the development of a highly skilled workforce. Universities in Belgrade, Novi Sad and Niš produce thousands of engineers each year, many of whom work in software development and digital services.
Foreign technology companies view Serbia as an attractive location for research and development centers because labor costs remain significantly lower than in Western Europe while technical expertise remains competitive.
The entry of firms such as CSA demonstrates the continued attractiveness of Serbia’s digital sector even amid a global slowdown in venture capital investment and technology hiring.
