The Future of Mobility through Autonomous Vehicles – Where is Niš on the Global Map?

What will the future of mobility look like and what place can Niš occupy on the global map when it comes to autonomous vehicles?

As part of the Urban Mobility Week, on Thursday, September 18, from 11 am, at the Science and Technology Park Niš, we are bringing together experts and the community to discuss important topics – from the potential that our city and our region have, through the obstacles that stand in the way of their development, to the first steps towards the implementation of autonomous mobility demo projects.

We will also pay special attention to the question of how ready Niš is for the responsible testing of autonomous vehicles and what is needed to make that leap. The event will also be attended by representatives of relevant institutions, representatives of the NAAEV Board of Directors, as well as professors from the faculties of the University of Niš who develop and implement AI solutions in robotics and autonomous systems, which will give the discussion additional depth and an expert perspective on the next steps.

Join us for a conversation about how technology can shape the cities of the future and where Niš can find its place in that discussion.

The event is organized by the Science and Technology Park Niš in cooperation with the City of Niš.

Engineering Formula for Business: Prepia Case Study

In a world where engineers are increasingly becoming founders, one question keeps coming up: is technical knowledge enough to build a business or do you need something more?

At the December Founders Meetup, we will talk about exactly that through the Prepia case study.

Viktor, CEO of the startup Prepia, will reveal how he turned an engineering mindset into a business worth 3M ARR in just one year, and how AI tools allow him to build and test faster than ever.

Joining him, Milica Balaban will talk about another key part of the equation: why even the best product does not become a business without a clear marketing strategy.

This is an event that brings together startup founders and people who are already building products, but it is also open to anyone who wants practical lessons, real insights, and honest stories from one of Serbia’s fastest-growing EdTech startups.

The talk will be followed by a mini-networking session, a great opportunity to meet people who understand your challenges.
