VLATACOM Leads Serbia's only Private Technical Research Institute

WASHINGTON - March 28, 2016 - PRLog -- VLATACOM Institute is a global, privately owned company headquartered in Belgrade, Serbia. They provide a wide variety of turnkey solutions for secure information and communication technology.

VLATACOM's path to success has been extremely unusual among Southeastern European companies. The company was established in Belgrade in 1997 with initial capital contributions of only $5,000 USD. From its inception to present day, VLATACOM has evolved from a small company to representing Motorola in Serbia, followed by entering the design, engineering and manufacturing spaces, which led to more recent growth and certification in 2015 as Serbia's first private scientific and engineering institute in the field of telecommunications and information technologies.

The mission of VLATACOM Institute is to foster scientific research and development in the areas of applied and secure information communication technology. First certified as a Research and Development Centre by Serbia's Ministry of Science in 2011, VLATACOM has been building the capacity of their Institute ever since - a process that has been vital to securing long-term success and growth opportunities.

"VLATACOM has expanded at a rapid rate since the company was founded in 1997," said Mr. Vladimir Cizelj, founder and President of VLATACOM. "Since then, we have adjusted our strategies and trajectory to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving field of information and communication technology. As the company has developed, we have become increasingly committed to research and education - a commitment that will inform the work and growth of our Institute for many, many years to come."

VLATACOM Institute is a central point for a wide range of activities - several countries, business associates and post-graduate students have the opportunity to do research and study new technologies as a result. Many different workshops and professional trainings have been organized, executed and replicated under this model. VLATACOM's strategic commitment to knowledge expansion has come full circle with the development of its own e-learning system. VLATACOM Institute is now capable of enabling remote learning from even the most distant countries. To learn more, visit www.VLATACOM.com.
