Infobip is a Croatian IT and telecommunications company, founded in 2006.[5]

History

[edit]

Infobip was established in the Croatian city of Pula in 2006.[6][7]

In 2014 and 2015, the company started its operations in Latin America and Asia-Pacific.[8][9][10]

In 2020, Infobip raised $200 million from One Equity Partners. Infobip's valuation thus surpassed $1 billion, making it the first Croatian unicorn company.[11][12] During the same year, Infobip acquired OpenMarket, a company headquartered in Seattle, United States.[13]

In July 2022, Infobip finalized its acquisition of Peerless Network, a U.S.-based telecommunications provider founded in 2008.[14] In March 2023 Peerless was issued a Cease and Desist by the United States Federal Trade Commission citing their hosting of spam and scam callers.[15]

Campuses

[edit]

In September 2017, the company opened its first high-tech campus, named Pangea, built on 17,000 square meters of land in Vodnjan, Croatia.[16]

Zagreb Campus - Opened in 2022

In 2022, Infobip opened its second campus in Zagreb, called Alpha Centauri, designed by 3LHD architectural firm.[17] The 20,000 square meter Alpha Centauri campus, which was named after the star system closest to Earth, is located near Zagreb's Sveta Klara and Remetinec neighborhoods.[17]
