Serbia’s engineering rise depends on cheap green power: Can the country fuel its simulation labs and prototype facilities sustainably?

Serbia’s industrial future increasingly revolves around engineering capability. The country has built a strong foundation in mechatronics, electronics, welding engineering, automation, industrial software and product design. What was once a labour-cost story has evolved into an engineering-powerhouse narrative. Serbian firms now design machinery, fabricate custom modules, develop automation solutions, build prototypes and run advanced engineering […]

The energy footprint of digital twins: How Serbia’s engineering R&D shift requires more data centres—and more renewable power

Digital twins are redefining industrial engineering. From wind turbines and substations to automotive platforms, manufacturing cells and entire production lines, digital twins enable simulation, optimisation, failure prediction, commissioning and real-time operational management. Serbia has emerged as one of Europe’s most promising locations for digital-twin engineering due to its strong technical universities, automation integrators and highly

Digital Serbia still runs on physical electrons: Why industrial software exports depend on grid stability and energy pricing

Serbia has spent the last decade building a formidable software-development ecosystem. While the global IT industry is highly mobile and geographically flexible, industrial software—MES systems, SCADA architectures, automation platforms, digital twins, PLC programming, industrial IoT and embedded engineering—depends on a physical foundation that receives far less attention: electricity. Industrial software development may not consume as

Industrial refrigeration meets rising MWh prices: The energy paradox of Serbia’s fastest-growing machinery segment

Serbia’s industrial refrigeration and cold-chain machinery sector has expanded rapidly in recent years, becoming one of the most export-ready segments of the country’s manufacturing base. Producers of refrigeration units, heat-exchanger systems, air-handling modules, insulated panels, stainless evaporators, industrial freezers and cold-storage equipment supply markets across Europe. Yet this success masks a structural vulnerability: these products

Wiring harnesses need stable voltage too: How grid quality affects Serbia’s automotive exports

Serbia’s automotive industry has built its reputation on the production of wiring harnesses—one of the most labour-intensive yet technically sensitive components in modern vehicles. Wiring systems form the nervous system of both conventional and electric vehicles. They must meet strict standards for reliability, insulation, resistance, weight and manufacturing traceability. As Serbia deepens its integration into

Serbia’s EV ambition faces an energy test: Can battery modules be competitively produced without green industrial PPAs?

Serbia’s ambition to enter the electric-vehicle supply chain is no longer aspirational—it is a strategic necessity. As European automotive manufacturers electrify their platforms, they are restructuring their supply networks around countries that can provide components with low carbon intensity, stable electricity costs and engineering capability. Battery modules, cooling systems, EV subframes, inverter enclosures and electrical

Power electronics meet power prices: How Serbia can dominate inverter, charger and battery-housing production with low-carbon electricity

Europe’s electrification wave—renewable-energy expansion, EV adoption, grid modernisation and industrial electrification—has created a structural surge in demand for power-electronics components. Inverters, charger modules, battery housings, thermal-management systems, switchgear, power-distribution panels and DC fast-charging infrastructure all require sophisticated mechanical and electrical manufacturing capabilities. Serbia is exceptionally well-positioned to capture a significant share of this market—but only

Green grid, green exports: Why Serbia’s electrical-equipment industry can only scale if industrial tariffs stay predictable

Serbia’s electrical-equipment industry has undergone a quiet transformation over the past decade, evolving into one of the country’s most sophisticated and export-oriented sectors. Cable harnesses, control cabinets, LV/MV panels, inverter housings, transformer enclosures and renewable-energy components are now shipped across Europe, forming a crucial part of Serbia’s industrial identity. But as the industry scales, its
