As the world market for ICT continues to evolve
and demand for software engineering increas-
es, Serbia is well placed both geographically
and structurally to provide a cost effective and
reliable alternative to other, already established
markets.
An outstanding pool of intellectual capital,
attractive labour costs, excellent worker skills,
a good communications network and a high
fluency in English are just some of the key com-
petitive advantages that have already attracted
international software companies to expand to
Serbia.
Software giantsMany leading global IT companies already have an own nearshore development
center in Belgrade, Serbia:
Microsoft Redhat IBM Oracle
Intel Hewlett Packard Siemens SAP
Motorola Cisco Systems Ericsson Telenor
Population: With approx. 8 million inhabitants one of the largest countries in the region
Geographic Position: South East Europe
Capital: Belgrade with approx. 3 million inhabitants
Time Zone: GMT+1 – same time zone as Zurich, Berlin, Vienna, Stockholm
Airport: Belgrade, reachable in less than 2 flight hours from most European cities
Why Nearshoring inSerbia?
“Serbia has great potential in the IT industry, that is why the world’s biggest software company decided to open a development centre in Belgrade.”
“It’s not a coincidence that Intel opened its regional o!ce in Serbia. It has a great strategic position and a capable and well educated workforce.”
Mr. Christopher BrennanCentral Eastern Europe General Manager, Microsoft
Mr. John E. DavisVice President and Director of the Global Program Development, Intel

Great IT Talent Pool at Lower Costs right Next Door
BELGRADE
Large talent poolNatural sciences are traditionally very popular in Serbia.
Around 4’500 engineers graduate from a Technical Uni-
versity each year. Government subsidy programmes and
investments support this trend also in the future.
Good availability There is no distinct “War for Talent” in Serbia yet, so the
availability of highly qualified software developers is
much better than in Western Europe.
Easy coordinationThe same time zone, similar cultures as well as a compa-
rable working attitude guarantee an efficient collabora-
tion.
CommunicationAbove average English skills enable easy communication.
Competitive costsLabour and operating costs in Serbia are significantly
lower than in Western Europe. We pass this substantial
cost advantage directly on to our clients.
Geographical proximityBelgrade can be reached from the most major Western
European airports in less than 2 flight hours.

High MobilitySerbian citizens can travel to the Schengen area without visa.
For foreign citizens is the entry to Serbia visa-free as well.
Locational advantages at a glance
„Serbia is becoming one of the Europe’s most attractive IT hot spots. An outstanding pool of intellectual capital, attractive costs, a skilled work force, a good communications network, and a high fluency in English labor are just some of the key advantages that usually attract international companies to expand ICT businesses in Serbia.”

Due to our outstanding reputation within the Serbian IT community and our extensive network, we can quickly support you with top-qualified specialists in the following areas:
Technology Expertise
SalaryDepending on experience and seniority, education and expertise in
a specific programming language, gross monthly salaries in Serbia
range from EUR 1,550 to EUR 2,550. Salaries are negotiated individ-
ually with each candidate.$
Service feeThe InterVenture fee is a monthly all-inclusive fee, which covers all
operating and administrative InterVenture services together with
the infrastructure costs. Only possible travel expenses and special
software licences are excluded from the fee.
One-time setup feeWhen hiring a new employee a one-time setup fee is charged. This
fee covers all recruiting costs and the provision of a fully equipped
workplace.
Our services are typically
charged with a monthly rate.
Thereby we use a transparent
pricing model that consists of
the developer‘s gross salary and
a service fee (InterVenture fee).
In this way the client has full
transparency and keeps track of
the costs at all times. For new
employees a one-time setup fee
applies in addition.
