The prime minister of Serbia, Ana Brnabic, pointed out at the media conference that the sector of information technologies had become one of the driving engines of the development of Serbia.

– We have started preparing at a rapid pace for Expo 2027, where we will present the whole Serbia as a country of innovations, modern technologies, a country which is one of the leaders in Europe in fields such as artificial intelligence – said Brnabic.

She cited the five fields which would be in focus in the coming period.

Autonomous driving, that is, vehicles without drivers

Brnabic said that the first license for a level 3 driverless vehicle, meaning that the driver is in the driver’s place, but that they don’t control the car, had been issued in Serbia a month before.

– We are one of the first five countries to do so. Our goal is to have that maximum level 5 by 2027, where the vehicle is fully autonomous and for all vehicles within Expo to be electric vehicles without drivers during our Expo 2027 – said Brnabic.

We want Serbia to be the first Europe in this field, the prime minister said.

Bio 4 campus is one of the biggest projects of this Government

– The good news is that we will start with the preparatory works in November this year. When Expo arrives to Serbia in 2027, we will have most of the campus finished, ready and occupied – Brnabic said and added:

– Over 5,000 scientists, students and professors will work there, and we also have signed agreements on cooperation with some of the world’s biggest pharmaceutical companies.

Science-technology parks

The prime minister says that science-technology parks have brought about a lot of good things.

– We are continuing with the construction of science-technology parks, with, above all, the full focus on Nis, Cacak and now on the Science-Technology Park in Krusevac. We will start the construction in the first quarter of 2024 at the latest. We are pushing forward and our ambition is to start building in the fourth quarter of this year – Brnabic said.


Continuation of investments in Kragujevac

The prime minister says that they have boosted Kragujevac with the State Data Center and that, at the end of August, the certificate for the safest data center in the world will be handed out.

– The Data Center in Kragujevac has given us the opportunity to put Kragujevac in the center of the development of our information-communications technologies and artificial intelligence – the prime minister said.

She also announced that they had secured funds from the budget to start building an innovation district in 2024, which would be important for Kragujevac and Sumadija.

Development of artificial intelligence

– We are one of the 11 countries in the world which have the development of artificial intelligence in the curriculums for elementary schools and high schools – Brnabic said.

She pointed out that Serbia already had one supercomputer in the Data Center in Kragujevac and that it was now buying another one.

– We want Serbia to be the absolute leader in Europe in the development of artificial intelligence – Brnabic said.
