Industrial site
Vršac, located at the edge of the Carpathian Mountains, is one of Serbia's most advanced industrial locations, with a focus on pharmaceuticals and technology. The heart of its economy is Hemofarm, a pharmaceutical company founded in 1960 that is now part of the German STADA Group, exporting medicines worldwide. The city hosts the 'Technology Park Vršac,' a modern industrial zone providing optimal conditions for high-tech firms and research institutions. Beyond pharmaceuticals, viticulture plays a vital historical and economic role, with the region managing over 2,000 hectares of vineyards. The city has also positioned itself as a pioneer in renewable energy, notably through wind farms like Kula and Košava in the surrounding plains. The blend of high-specialty industry, agritourism, and green energy makes Vršac a model for sustainable regional development in Vojvodina.
