In accordance with the decision of the Board of Directors and at the suggestion of the members and the Executive Office of the National Alliance for Local Economic Development (NALED), managing director Milan Ranđelović, PhD, was awarded the Special Award for his contribution to reforms in the Republic of Serbia. This prestigious award is awarded as a symbol of exceptional leadership, commitment, and cooperation in contributing to reforms aimed at improving the business environment and social development.

As stated in the explanation, from the very beginning of its operations, the Science and Technology Park Niš strives to create a favorable business environment and innovation ecosystem that encourages entrepreneurship and economic development of the Southern and Eastern Serbia Region. In cooperation with NALED, it included local entrepreneurs and innovators in the StarTech program, opening opportunities for them to access grants intended for the development of their innovative projects.
In less than three years, the number of member companies has exceeded 50 innovative companies that employ more than 600 young and talented people, including the development centers of leading global companies. In addition to strengthening the local innovation infrastructure, STP Niš also plays a key role at the regional level by supporting the establishment and improvement of nine regional startup centers and two innovation incubators at faculties.
The contribution of STP Niš to regional development was recognized through the initiative for building a new facility, with an investment of over 22 million euros, which will triple the capacities for supporting innovation.

This award is a confirmation of the dedication and continuous effort we invest towards creating a better business and social environment, motivating us to continue working on the promotion of innovation, technological development, and entrepreneurship in our region.
