The Digital Serbia Initiative presented a strategy dedicated to the accelerated development and global positioning of Serbia's digital ecosystem over the next three years.
The strategy includes four key initiatives that will support the development of globally successful startups: the application of artificial intelligence through the acquisition of digital skills, the emergence of a new generation of experienced entrepreneurs, and the strengthening of international connectivity while improving the regulatory framework that will support the development of innovation.
A startup ecosystem with global potential: Soonicorn
The Serbian startup ecosystem is at an early stage of development and has faced limited growth in the last two years. To move to the next stage, a larger number of startups that reach a significant level of growth and attract larger investments are needed. The Soonicorn initiative will support selected startups with the potential to become unicorns over the next three to five years.
Staying relevant using AI: remAIn relevant
Through multidisciplinary projects, students and pupils will develop skills that prepare them for the market of the future, while the application of good practices from abroad accelerates the development of our ecosystem.
Support for entrepreneurship as a driver of innovation: Entrepreneur First
Empowering women in the IT sector, as well as supporting researchers to commercialize their ideas and connect with the private sector, are part of an initiative that aims to create a dynamic and sustainable entrepreneurial environment with a larger number of spinoff companies in the next three years.
Global connectivity for ecosystem recognition: Serbia as an International Hub
In order to better integrate Serbia's digital ecosystem with the world's, the strategy focuses on global connectivity.
