December the 12th, 2021 - Denis Jasarevic of the successful Croatian IN2 Group has stated how the global coronavirus pandemic which saw the world as we knew it so well shut down only worked to highlight the sheer important of the blossoming Croatian IT sector.

As Poslovni Dnevnik/Denis Jasarevic writes, we live in times when what was impossible yesterday is no longer the case today. Over the last two years, there have been major disruptions at the global level, which have revealed that processes with the help of technology can speed up and improve the efficiency of all users in the system. It didn’t happen overnight, but 2021 once again showed the importance of the Croatian IT sector and pushed it to the very forefront.

All forecasts show that economic growth throughout 2022 will be significantly higher than what was initially forecast, and the Croatian IT sector is expected to become a key generator of development and competitiveness of the Croatian economy. Numerous Croatian technology companies in the current environment have managed to succeed worldwide and attract significant investments.

It is reasonable to expect that the growth trend of the Croatian IT sector will continue throughout next year and thus continue to change the paradigm of both the public and private sector in Croatia, which recognised Croatian IT companies as partners in the great efforts to achieve goals in adapting to these new circumstances.

The focus of the IN2 Group next year will primarily be on further development and investment in a wide and quality portfolio of its own products in the fields of health, financial and insurance business, as well as various economic verticals and a number of software solutions for public administration.

The Group is counting on the advantages of digitalisation to be further highlighted and proven in this ongoing crisis period, and the Croatian IT sector expects further progress in business segments that we have previously recognised as those in which we want to develop.

As for the bigger picture, the Republic of Croatia must and can better position itself on the competitive IT map of the world. The main challenge, apart from the availability of experts, which is a prerequisite for further development, is a company's readiness to accept new forms of doing business, and of course investment in the development of the IT sector as a driving force of the Croatian economy and for competitiveness.
