DID YOU KNOW THAT SUBOTICA IS AN IT TOWN?


The mention of Subotica usually makes us think about the northernmost town in Serbia, the town of art nouveau, Danilo Kiš, granges, wineries, Palić lake, an impressive Townhall, the second biggest European synagogue, and the like. However, many people, including the locals, do not know that Subotica has recently become a true IT town.

  • The IT Cluster in Subotica brings together around twenty companies from the respective field, which employ more than 1200 people (out of which 500 make up highly qualified staff). Many “traditional” companies also have an IT sector, so that the number is even bigger.
  • Our town offers a variety of IT fields, from programming (web development, IOS, IoT, Android, Cloud, AI, Database, Embedded, System solutions), digital marketing, telecommunications, machine programming, and engineering, through education, logistics, graphic design, and branding, to developing smart solutions (smart buildings), resource management systems, video games, online business, and the like.
  • The IT knowledge can be acquired at the Faculty of Economics (tracks: Business Informatics and Business Information Systems), the Tech College of Applied Sciences, Polytechnic High School in Subotica, Technical School “Ivan Sarić” and an increasing number of private IT education centers.

Associate Professor
Ekonomski fakultet
I see the IT Subotica 2030 initiative as a chance to position Subotica as a city that is ment for family life and employment, thanks to which, many people will stay in the city, and those who don't will seek happiness in Subotica. As a representative of a higher education institution, I have no doubt that the city must have quality faculties and study programs that will bring young people here, after which, thanks to the developed (IT) economy, they will stay in Subotica.
