Minds of the Future – Serbia’s AI Olympiad Team Visits Cubes

This week, Cubes had the pleasure of hosting four brilliant young minds in computer science and artificial intelligence – Mihailo Jančević, Nemanja Majski, Miloš Milutinović, and Uroš Kostadinović, along with their mentor, Professor Vladimir Milovanović.

The team achieved outstanding results on the global stage, bringing home gold and silver from the prestigious AI Olympiad in Riyadh. Their story caught the attention of our entire tech community, and we wanted to say thank you and offer our support as they take their next steps.

The informal meetup was a chance for us to show appreciation and to let them know they’re not alone—that IT companies in Serbia recognize their work and want to see them succeed. Our conversation covered the value of discipline, continuous learning, and consistency—core traits for anyone pursuing excellence in software engineering or any branch of technology.

“For young talents like Mihailo, Nemanja, Miloš, and Uroš, this is more than just one victory—it’s their first real step into the world of innovation, artificial intelligence, and the wider tech ecosystem,” said our COO, Aleksandar Stanojević. “We want them to know we’re here to support their journey.”

Inside the Olympiad: AI Through the Eyes of Future Tech Leaders

During their visit, our team had the opportunity to hear more about the Olympiad itself—a global competition that gathers the best high school minds in AI and data science. The students shared experiences about their preparation, challenges, and the international friendships they built along the way.

Professor Milovanović highlighted just how valuable their success is, especially considering that Serbia still lacks specialized AI programs in schools. Their achievement proves what’s possible when IT education meets determination and self-driven learning.

They also spoke about how other countries prepare for such events. For instance, China organizes long-term intensive training programs for its teams, supported by both schools and government institutions. These programs play a key role in nurturing top-performing tech professionals—something we believe Serbia should invest in as well.

We were especially excited to learn that the Olympiad team has already started designing tasks for future competitors, continuing the cycle of knowledge and helping mentor the next generation. Many of them are also planning to pursue studies in software development, AI engineering, and related fields.

Investing in Tech Talent – A Long-Term Commitment for the IT Industry

This inspiring visit reminded us how crucial it is to support young people who want to build a career in the technology sector. We hope to see more tech companies in Serbia step up and create similar initiatives.

“Supporting young people dedicated to growth and learning is key to the development of both the IT industry and society as a whole. We encourage other companies in the digital industry to get involved, recognize their achievements, and offer opportunities for growth,” Aleksandar added.

Investing in future-ready professionals is not just a trend—it’s a smart and necessary move. These young minds are already shaping what’s next in AI and software. Let’s make sure they have everything they need to succeed.
