Although the public is relatively well informed about the development of computers, Serbia still lacks full consciousness about the importance of application software and comprehensive business solutions as a key factor for serious integration into the global economy. By presenting the concept of “Knowledge Factory”, we want to send a message to all relevant groups of interest to unite forces in attempt to create a stimulating environment for growth of IT industry and effective implementation of IT solutions and services.
“Knowledge Factory” is a unique IT event in Serbia with its orientation on positioning of new technologies as key tools for expanding the boundaries of knowledge and competences, as well as for business improvement. Lectures and presentations will be attended by selected guests and representatives of printed and electronic media, while the event is open for visitors who will be able to buy ComTrade computers with 10% discount. Between the scheduled activities, gusts will have the opportunity to learn more about their hosts through informal conversations.
Our company plans to make this event traditional and thus support many individuals and organizations working to promote information technologies in Serbia.
