The digital agency IBM iX Croatia announced on 17 May 2022, the opening of an Osijek office and the hiring of between 100 to 120 people. The company expects the Osijek office to open by the end of 2022. The new office will be the company's third biggest office in the Republic of Croatia, after the ones located in Zagreb and Varazdin. The reason for such decision is that Osijek has grown into one of the largest IT hubs in Croatia, with large capacities, quality faculties and highly educated young people, so the company believes it will find a suitable number of experts to work there. IBM iX will need classic developers, integration engineers, business consultants and user interface designers, as well as various other professionals.
