Montenegro Startup Round Table Strategy Sessions have begun

Today, we had an inspiring Montenegro Startup Round Table Strategy Session

This gathering brought together key stakeholders from Montenegro’s startup ecosystem- EBRD, EIT Montenegro, US Embassy in Montenegro, Science and Technology Park of Montenegro, Innovation Fund, Tehnopolis, Faculty of Economics, University of Donja Gorica

We discussed and strategized future collaborations, inspired by the successful practices in the Netherlands. We have agreed that this initial session, where we defined the next steps, is the first of many to come, serving as a foundational starting point for the collective advancement of the innovation ecosystem. Our goal is to unify the vision for Montenegro's startup ecosystem, encourage cooperation among ecosystem members, enhance knowledge through data sharing, and celebrate shared successes with local stakeholders.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to these vital discussions. Together, we are working on improving the startup ecosystem in Montenegro. Looking forward to more to come!

Grand Finale of Startup Readiness Program

Today marks the grand finale of the Startup Readiness Program, as a first part of our Acceleration Program, conducted in partnership with the Science and Technology Park. 

Over the past weeks, under the expert guidance of Stephan Botz from the Netherlands, our participating startups delved into five modules designed to sharpen their entrepreneurial skills. 

We are proud to announce that the top seven of the 15 program participants, whose startups are from the entire WB6 region, will join the Digital Den portfolio, advancing to our upcoming Acceleration and SoftLanding programs within the MTSB4 project

Through the program, participants have gone from defining problem statements to understanding potential customers, navigating the critical early stages of their journey with newfound clarity and direction. 

Huge congratulations to all the founders for their dedication and hard work. Stay tuned to see who will join our portfolio and be a part of the upcoming MTSB project!
