Meet our members: JuristSoft

When you have software developers and lawyers join forces, you get a web application that contains over 150 models of acts – policies, decisions, contracts, annexes to contracts, resolutions, travel warrants, which have the legal contents and are very simply and automatically made by users.

Jurist Biro is an innovative product developed by the Jurist Biro startup company, and the basic idea for creating this application was to facilitate the creation of necessary documents in the fields of work relations and business.

With the help of software developers, this team of experienced lawyers from different fields of law used all the benefits of advanced technologies and developed a software solution which will provide complete and all-encompassing legal security for clients by respecting all legal regulations, and also facilitate and speed up the process of document creation.

A special training is not necessary for using the program, so an average user can get acquainted with the way it functions very quickly, which is another advantage.

At the forthcoming Meet our Members event, you will have the opportunity to meet another exceptional member of the Science and Technology Park Niš, hear more about the kind of program it is, how this team got the idea, and what benefits other STP Niš members can expect.

STP Niš Meetup: Agile methods and facilitations

Today, the words “agile” and “facilitation” can be heard on a regular basis in companies which develop complex products, and these modern business principles can be used by managers, project coordinators, teams, and even entire companies. They include skills you can utilize as an individual – improving your personal skills or transforming processes within your company making it efficient, modern, and adapted to the present.

If you had heard of some of the techniques, but are not sure of what you can accomplish with them and how to go one step beyond, then this interactive meetup is for you.

As top experts in this field, the regional director of the International Association of Facilitators, Tamara Živadinović, and the Agile coach from the IT Center, Dr. Slavimir Stošović will explain to us why this concept took over the business world and what its application is.

Startup Breakfast: How to improve a personal business through programs by the National Employment Agency

Whether you are someone only starting out in business, an experienced entrepreneur and employer, or someone in need of a job, searching through the program from the National Employment Service (“Nacionalna Služba za Zapošljavanje” – NSZ) database is always the first step towards the possibility of realizing a part of the financial support.

 This year, the NSZ published 12 public calls/contests, through which a total of 6,5 billion dinars will be dedicated as financial support for employers.

The focus will be primarily on persons more difficult to employ, such as: young people of up to 30 years of age, people without secondary education, people older than 50, Romani, people with disabilities, people with long-term unemployment, recipients of financial aid, and people having the status of a surplus of employees.

Most of the public calls/contests will be open until November 30, 2022, while the Public Call for granting subsidies for self-employment will be open until March 31, 2022 for which you can apply electronically as well.

At the forthcoming Startup Breakfast, we will hear more information on participation in active employment policy measures and current aid programs for entrepreneurs from Boban Matić, director of the NSZ Niš branch, and Vanja Stojković, deputy director of the NSZ Niš branch.
