President Milanović Visits Infobip Company in Vodnjan

During his stay in Istria County, the President of the Republic Zoran Milanović visited the company Infobip in Vodnjan. Together with the management of this leading IT company in Croatia and the region, he toured the firm’s headquarters and campus. At a meeting with the President, members of the management board of Infobip presented the company’s business activities, primarily in the field of data processing and server services.

It was said at the meeting that the company Infobip does business globally in more than 65 offices across six continents. On the topic of the company’s workforce, members of the board pointed out that Infobip has significantly increased the number of employees: the firm had 901 employees in 2019 and today Infobip employs some 3,000 workers in its offices at home and abroad.

“People used to come to Vodnjan for its tourist attractions, and now they come because of a company that is not so well known in Croatia, but is incredible”, President Milanović told the press after visiting the company. “I want to draw attention to what competent and dedicated people can do, because this firm operates throughout the world and was not established with the aid of the state; it has grown organically. It has offices throughout the world, revenue of nearly a billion euros and everything was built around knowledge and technology. IT specialists from around the world work in Vodnjan, Zagreb and on all continents. This is a miracle”, said the President.

Asked by the press if some figures surprised him, he said that it was not a matter of figures. “The numbers are high. It’s about potential – financially speaking, when things start growing, the sky’s the limit. This is one of three such companies in the world”, concluded President Milanović.

The following representatives of Infobip attended the meeting with President Milanović: Chief Executive Officer Silvio Kutić, Chief Operations Officer Roberto Kutić, Chief Technical Officer Izabel Jelenčić, VP Corporate Affairs Aurora Volarević, VP Business Operations Boris Pogačnik.
