In Serbia’s ICT sector, there are currently around 110,000 professionals, with projections indicating that by 2027, this number will increase to at least 140,000.
During the opening of the 23rd Technobank conference in Belgrade, Minister of Information and Telecommunications Mihailo Jovanović outlined the achievements and forthcoming initiatives aimed at advancing Serbia’s ICT industry. He emphasized that ongoing investments in cutting-edge digital, telecommunications, and innovation infrastructure are integral components of the “Leap into the Future – Serbia 2027” strategy.
Jovanović highlighted upcoming endeavors, including the expansion of the State Data Center in Kragujevac with the addition of Block 2, boasting a capacity of 16 megawatts.
