The motivation behind the STP visit, alongside with the amount of supporting bodies was extremely impressive. The Republic of Serbia wants to become a player in the global tech ecosystem and everyone involved felt and behaved like it is his own personal mission. It was very evident that Serbian entrepreneurs are not afraid to tackle tough problems, developing deep technologies and taking hard missions on their shoulders. Now the main goal should be – numbers. Numbers that will come only if the young generation seen in the Economics department and in STP, join the tech ecosystem, not only as an employee but as a founder.
