Serbia signs framework deal for drone and robot battery factory in Inđija

Serbia has signed a framework agreement with Chinese company Jiangsu Reliance Energy Tech to build a battery factory in Inđija, expanding the country’s planned role in high-tech manufacturing.

The facility is expected to produce batteries for drones, humanoid robots, unmanned vehicles, advanced electric tools, and household appliances. President Aleksandar Vučić said the investment would exceed 100 million euros.

Economy Minister Adrijana Mesarović, Inđija municipal president Marko Gašić, and Jiangsu Reliance Energy Tech co-founder and chief operating officer Xu Fen Lan signed the agreement in Vučić’s presence.

“

I believe this investment will be another turning point in Serbia’s future economic development. This is the best company for producing batteries for household appliances, drones, and robots.

Vučić described the project as a possible turning point for Serbia’s economic development. He said the government plans to attract more advanced Chinese companies to industrial technology zones in Ćuprija and Inđija, while developing Serbian suppliers for companies producing robots and drones.

He also said Serbia should open one of Europe’s largest drone factories within six months. The company involved in the battery project was described as one of the world’s leading producers of batteries for high-tech devices.

“

We will try to provide Serbian suppliers for Chinese high-tech companies that will produce robots and drones, so that we do not depend on anyone’s goodwill.
