International IT company Comtrade celebrated 20 years of operations in Sarajevo, and this major jubilee was marked by the ceremonial opening of a modernized Comtrade software center in Sarajevo.

In the presence of guests from the diplomatic and business life of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the company presented the renovated business facility where 250 engineers currently work, with a plan to hire 100 new IT professionals in the coming year.

- We are pleased to mark two decades of successful operations in Sarajevo. When we started, our goal was to employ a large number of young and promising people and thus contribute to establishing a stronger business environment, and I am glad to say that we succeeded. Today's opening represents a new cycle of investments and another important step towards employing highly educated IT personnel in the region - said Veselin Jevrosimović, owner and president of the Comtrade Group.

Employees at the Comtrade software center will work in a modern and state-of-the-art environment on software projects for the world's largest companies, applying the latest technologies.

Over the past two decades, Comtrade has built a successful team of IT experts in Sarajevo through investment in innovative technologies, education, and employee development. By expanding business capacities, the company continues to follow its expansion strategy on the regional and global markets, where it markets technologies developed by local IT professionals.

- We are extremely proud of these 20 years. If we go back to the time when we started this story, which was 1996, when the IT community was at a very low level, our strategic goal was to enable our people to advance, to work for the largest global and domestic companies, and through this entire process to help the development of the company, and thus the local community and the development of the local IT industry. We can proudly say that we have done a lot in that field - said Haris Čečo, Vice President and Director of FinTech Comtrade Digital Services.

We hope that in the future we will work even better and more successfully - said Adnan Subašić, General Director of Comtrade Distribution BiH.
