Through the internationalization process enterprises gain long-term growth and sustainability opportunity on the foreign, as well as on the domestic market. Human capital and knowledge represent the basis for growth of the enterprises from the observed industry, especially for software development companies. Nevertheless, decreased demand for the products from the industry in the Republic of Croatia results in domestic information technology experts deciding to internationalize their business. In this paper primary research was carried out among micro and small software development enterprises in the Republic of Croatia, with the purpose of analyzing the characteristics and the level of their internationalization as well as giving the guidelines for further development
