The SOFTMOVE project, implemented under the Interreg IPA South Adriatic Programme 2021–2027, successfully concluded with a final conference held in Bari, Italy.The event brought together partners from Italy, Albania, and Montenegro to present project outcomes, reflect on key insights from past activities, and formally sign a Memorandum of Understanding to support continued collaboration beyond the project’s scope.Our representative presented the activities carried out in Montenegro, along with Digital Den’s contribution to the Joint Action Plan aimed at developing a feasibility model for a smart cities approach across the IPA region. This contribution included an analysis of the current state of urban transport, a proposed model for integrating UAS technologies into city management, and a feasibility overview in the Montenegrin context.The conference marked the conclusion of a year and a half of meaningful collaboration, knowledge exchange, and cross-border teamwork.

The ideas were pitched, the decisions made – and we have our winners!The final day of our Pre-Acceleration Program, held at the Naučno-tehnološki park Crne Gore / Science Technology Park of Montenegro, brought together everything that defines a strong startup community: dedication, knowledge, support, and teams ready for the next chapter.Startups presented their ideas in front of a live audience and a jury made up of representatives from the EBRD, the U.S. Embassy, the program’s lead mentor Stephan Botz, and the Digital Den team. Together, they selected our fifth startup cohort.The title of the most promising startups goes to:3DLoom, YachtHe, Valifiy, Pet Travel Advisor, SYSQBIT LLC, Benefiti and WhereToPark.Next up: the MTSB Europe program and more opportunities in Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands.Demo Day welcomed a wide range of voices from Montenegro’s startup scene — from ministries and banks to universities, funds, and support organizations.Thank you to everyone who supported the event through their active engagement — and congratulations to all startups for their courage, commitment, and vision.A special thanks to the EBRD for supporting the organization of the program and helping strengthen collaboration across the ecosystem.
