STP Niš workshop: How to develop a good business model for your startup?
The good news is that there are more and more funds and programs providing all-encompassing support during their development and also encompasses significant financial support aside from the necessary expert support.
Aside from getting informed about possible financing sources, it is necessary to get informed about how to write a good application, how to get insight into all key points of business, which tools are available for developing the business model, etc.
For December 16, the Science and Technology Park has organized the intensive “How to develop a good business model for your startup?” training precisely on this topic.
You will have the opportunity to get a good overview of your business and, among other things, get a good basis for preparing a successful application for available programs and funds.
The training is dedicated to developing key elements for startup business model development and will be open for anyone interested in addition to STP Niš members.
