With the signing of the Membership Contract, the development center for engineering design of one of the largest global technology companies, the American microchip manufacturer AMD, was officially opened within the Science and Technology Park Niš. In addition to the STP Niš team, the initial meeting, organized with the aim of establishing cooperation, was attended by representatives of the City of Niš, headed by Mayor Dragoslav Pavlović, the University of Niš, as well as representatives of the Faculties of Electronic Engineering and Sciences and Mathematics. The new center will focus on the development of software solutions for leading AMD platforms, including Instinct accelerators and AMD Radeon graphics cards.

The center will cooperate closely with the University of Nis, enabling students to acquire practical knowledge through educational workshops and practice during their studies. This cooperation aims to attract young talents and provide them with opportunities to work on globally competitive technologies, without having to leave their city.
The Science and Technology Park Niš managing director, Milan Ranđelović, PhD, emphasized the importance of opening development centers of global companies in Niš: “The fact that AMD decided on Niš shows that this city still has the resources and strength to be part of the most serious global technological trends. The presence of large technology companies in the Park, such as CISCO and AMD, will further strengthen the economy of the city and the region, providing young people with opportunities to study, work, and live here in world-class conditions.”

Andrej Zdravković, vice president and software director at AMD, also emphasized the importance of this investment for the city of Niš and pointed out that they are looking forward to cooperating with the faculties of the University of Niš: “The presence of AMD brings new technology and opportunities for young engineers to prepare for work in the latest technological trends, while staying in their city. We plan to work together to create programs and lectures in order to move technology closer to world standards.”

AMD is a global company with over 27,000 employees, annual revenue of more than $22 billion, and a market capitalization that has grown tenfold in the past five years, placing it among the 40 largest companies in the world.
The opening of the AMD Research Center in Niš confirms, once again, the importance of the Science and Technology Park Niš as a key factor in the development of innovation and technological progress, not only for the city, but also for the entire Southern and Eastern Serbia Region. This way, STP Niš contributes to the establishment of a knowledge-based economy, the creation of strong connections between the industry, academia, and innovative companies, thereby opening new opportunities for young talents, further strengthening Serbia’s competitiveness on the global technology market.
