Today, more than 100,000 people work in this ‘IT economy,’ accounting for an impressive ~10% of GDP.
Our conclusion is that the AI transformation we’re witnessing will significantly change the state of the IT economy worldwide, us here included.

To the same extent, the program will be in English, so we can fully tap the potential of all members of Serbia’s IT community for learning and mutual support; for the same reason, the majority of events will be held in person.
The 2026 program has been made possible by the kind support from Lost Astronaut, a super-awesome venture studio looking to fund AI founders in Serbia.
