Forty-five new teams, selected at the second public call of the Raising Starts pre-seed program, will start with their first workshops within the first phase of the second Raising Starts cycle on 28^th February! 

Startups fought for their spot in the program in a fierce competition among 115 registered teams, and before them, there is a month of exciting, intensive work and knowledge sharing within lectures and workshops which will give them the necessary direction and focus for further, rapid innovation development. Startups will work with experts with years of experience, local and international mentors with significant references in the field of building up businesses and startup development.

We congratulate all teams! 

At the end of Phase 1, the teams that fulfill the criteria given beforehand will present their ideas on the Demo Day to the professional jury, and those who show the greatest potential for commercializing their idea and conquering the global market, will be granted the ability to participate in Phase 2 where, alongside additional training, they will get their mentors (one-on-one sessions with the business and the technology mentor), as well as financial support (up to 15.000 CHF). 

Raising Starts is the first program in Serbia that provides both professional and financial support for the rapid development of innovations at the same time to startups in the earliest development phases. 

The program was created through the “Technopark Serbia 2 – encouraging exports through the development of technology parks” project, through which the Government of Switzerland supports further development of innovations and technological entrepreneurship, and is being conducted by the Science Technology Park Belgrade in partnership with the Science and Technology Park Niš and the Science Technology Park Čačak.
