Scaling operations for Porsche Digital’s new R&D center

PORSCHE DIGITAL


Helping Porsche Digital open a new R&D center, attract local talent, and enhance their global presence.

PROJECT INFO

Entering a new market usually means establishing a new business from scratch or acquiring an existing company. While starting from scratch is more time-consuming and risky, acquisitions may bring along resources not aligned with strategic goals, resulting in added costs and organizational clutter.

Porsche Digital recognized Infinum as a catalyst for their Southeast Europe operations, a strategic partner well-versed in the intricacies of the local market and regulations.

Building Porsche Digital Croatia from 0 to 100 km/h

Entering a joint venture with Infinum enabled Porsche Digital to grow the business through a collaboration tailored completely to drive their goals.

Porsche Digital was able to streamline operations at an unprecedented rate thanks to Infinum’s established expertise and market position.

With an established regional presence and experience in setting up companies, including the successful B2B SaaS Productive, Infinum had a strategy in place to set Porsche Digital Croatia up for success.

After recruiting the company’s core team, consisting of top performers at Infinum, we expanded the team by capitalizing on the reputation built over 18 years and winning seven consecutive Best Employer awards.

Exceeding expectations from day one


Porsche Digital Croatia’s rapid journey to success and growth is impressive. In its second year, the company had already achieved full operational independence. Having mastered Infinum’s processes and recruitment practices, the company began hiring engineering, design, data science, and artificial intelligence talent independently. The success of the hiring efforts resulted in moving to a bigger office the following year.
