Serbia should boost its net IT exports from 400 mln euros to 1.5 bln euros over the next five years, envisions the national action plan for the IT sector, due to be adopted by the government by the end of the year.
The action plan, developed by a ministerial council headed by Minister of Public Administration and Local Self-Government Ana Brnabic, will be among the three government priorities over the next five years, the Blic daily reports.
The document is aimed at boosting the capacities of Serbia’s IT industry and creating the IT professionals the country is lacking.
An estimated 1,500 IT professionals appear on the market every year, but the figure must be increased at least five-fold, to over 7,000, to enable the country to meet its export goals.
