The Serbian IT industry is rapidly growing and changing pace. In 2018, IT services exports reached $1.3 billion.[14] With 6,924 companies in the IT sector (2013 data), Belgrade is one of the information technology centers in this part of Europe, with strong growth.[15] Microsoft Development Center located in Belgrade was at the time of its establishment fifth such center in the world.[16] Many world IT companies choose Belgrade as regional or European center such as Asus,[17] Intel,[18] Dell,[19] Huawei, NCR,[20] Ubisoft[21] etc. These companies have taken advantage of Serbia's large pool of engineers and relatively low wages.

Large investments by global tech companies like Microsoft, typical of the 2000s, are being eclipsed by a growing number of domestic startups which obtain funding from domestic and international investors. What brought companies like Microsoft in the first place was a large pool of talented engineers and mathematicians.[22] In just the first quarter of 2016, more than US$65 million has been raised by Serbian startups including $45 million for Seven Bridges (a Bioinformatics firm) and $14 million for Vast (a data analysis firm).[23][24] One of the most successful startups have been Nordeus which was founded in Belgrade in 2010 and is one of Europe's fastest-growing companies in the field of computer games (the developer of Top Eleven Football Manager, a game played by over 20 million people).[25]
