By Joy Dumasia

Navan Digital, a software engineering specialist in digital identity, digital transformation and blockchain-based technology for the new digital economy, announced the opening of its UK & Ireland operations with a focus on delivering software engineering capacity to the UK & Ireland based financial institutions, Capital Market firms, FinTechs, and their resourcing partners.

Navan Digital Group has acquired OutsourceCentral doo Beograd-Palilula of Serbia. It has a highly-impressive track record in providing remote development teams to an international client base from its development centres in Belgrade and Novi Sad.

Serbia has a deep tradition of excellence in engineering and science. Recent educational reforms have created a rich stream of software engineering talent, with over 3,300 software engineers graduating every year. Building on its acquired base, Navan Digital has begun a highly selective and ambitious recruitment drive in Serbia to attract additional top-quality software engineers to work as managed teams for UK & Ireland based financial sector clients.

Ken King, the Managing Partner at Navan Digital, said: “We are pleased to join the board to drive an international expansion of these managed teams of software engineers, with a focus on the global financial sector. We recognise this rich stream of top-quality software engineering talent and are building significant additional capacity to support UK & Ireland financial sector clients with remote managed teams to accelerate their critical digital transformation projects.”

Jason Mochine, the Managing Partner at Navan Digital, said: “Investment in UK FinTechs soared in the first half of 2021; we want to help these companies achieve their ambitions by offering dedicated software engineering teams to provide development and testing resources. We have identified Serbia as a centre of excellence for quality engineering talent and a top location for R&D and blockchain-based product development.”
