The application period for the fifth generation of the Raising Starts programme has officially closed, receiving a total of 211 applications.

We would like to thank all teams and entrepreneurs who applied and showed interest in joining the programme. We look forward to meeting the next generation of Raising Starts startups and supporting their growth journey.

Raising Starts is an early-stage startup support programme designed to help teams validate their ideas, develop their products, and prepare for market entry.

The programme is implemented through the project “Technopark Serbia 3 – Innovate Forward”, with the support of the Swiss Government. The project aims to strengthen Serbia’s innovation ecosystem, foster the entrepreneurial potential of young people and the academic community, and provide strong financial and technical support to startups through the Raising Starts programme and its alumni network.
