Business Incubator was hosting the Innovational Achievements Festival where a publication called “Challenges of Building a Resilient Innovational Ecosystem” was presented, in addition to a regional network for innovation support. The Festival was the closing event within the project “Innovational Serbia 2024”.
Additionally, a new Coworking space was opened, a new economic concept of business meant for entrepreneurs, start-up companies, and innovators.
Among others, the event was visited by Mayor Manojlović and Deputy Mayor Snežana Radojković with their associates.
Promoting Coworking, as a principle for individual work and business innovation space, Business Incubator Director Martina Manojlović stated that this kind of concept was meant for companies who would also be able to use mentorship and financial assistance. After the initial developing period, they would be moved to Science and Technology Park, which is currently under construction.
“We are preparing start-up companies, an Open Call is on the official Business Incubator website, so interested parties can apply and become a part of our community. Business Incubator has awarded more than 8 good startups and we directed them to some program funds of the National Assembly of Serbia. I would also like to emphasize the great cooperation we have with the Ministry of Science, Technological Development, and Innovation, helmed by Minister Begović”.
Currently with us, there are companies from the Rasina District who have also prepared prototypes, finished and ready products they could talk and inform interested visitors about”, concluded Director Manojlović.
The Festival was opened by Mayor Manojlović.
“Project “Innovative Serbia 2024″ is a platform that gathers everyone who believes that creativity is the future, who has the courage to push the envelope, and those who are tenacious enough to face and overcome challenges. This is an opportunity to showcase ideas and synergies of various sectors and professions, as well as the ability to convert a palpable world-changing solution from an abstract vision. Innovations today play a key role in shaping the future and foundation for a sustainable economic growth and global competitiveness. This Festival is a chance for obtaining new ideas, business collaborations, and motivations for further improvements”.
In one segment of the Festival, Dr. Vladan Ivanović, a professor of Faculty of Economy in Kragujevac, held a speech and discussed about a publication called “Challenges of Building a Resilient Innovative Ecosystem”. Another speaker was Dr. Goran Lapčević, a professor of professional studies at the Higher Business School of Professional Studies “Radomir Bojković”, who spoke about the regional network of innovational support and the importance of networking.
