Merging youth potential with the real needs of the economy represents a key step in building a strong innovation ecosystem.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Exactly this message marked the final event of the Young Entrepreneurs Western Balkans (YEB) project,<\/strong> titled “Youth and Innovation:<\/strong> Presentation of Entrepreneurial Ideas,”<\/strong> which gathered promising young innovators, experts, and institutional representatives at the Science and Technology Park of Montenegro.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The central and most exciting part of the event was the presentation of the three best teams, who carefully developed their visions and solutions through a multi-month program and valuable study visits to Turin and Shkod\u00ebr.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n The audience had the opportunity to choose the best through direct voting, and the winning title went to the SeaSense<\/strong> team, consisting of Stefan Kne\u017eevi\u0107<\/strong> and \u0110uro Radonji\u0107,<\/strong> thanks to their innovative solution in the field of the blue economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Second place was won by Sava Tomovi\u0107<\/strong> with the AperioTrace<\/strong> project, whose idea is strongly focused on improving cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, third place was taken by Ermin Mehovi\u0107 and Anes Beri\u0161a<\/strong> with the ENVA<\/strong> solution, offering smart solutions for modernization in the agriculture sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to the dynamic competitive part, visitors had the opportunity to follow two exceptionally inspiring panel discussions. The first panel, dedicated to building the ecosystem, gathered institutional representatives: Vuko Jovanovi\u0107 (Chamber of Economy), Prof. Nedeljko Latinovi\u0107, PhD, (Biotechnical Faculty), and Prof. Savo Tomovi\u0107, PhD, (Ulysseus Innovation Hub for Cybersecurity). <\/strong>They spoke about the importance of systemic support and the introduction of digitalization into traditional sectors such as agriculture and maritime affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Immediately afterwards, the focus shifted to innovators who recently stepped into the startup ecosystem through a panel symbolically named “Fall in Love with the Problem: First Steps in Building a Startup.”<\/strong> Startup founders Milan Mari\u0107 (LoraSi), An\u0111ela Rai\u010devi\u0107 (VirtuGuardians), and Aleksa Albijani\u0107 (BoomPulse)<\/strong> openly shared their experiences on overcoming early obstacles, finding the right partners, and the necessity of adapting products to actual market needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The entire event concluded with a strong and encouraging message for all young people who are just planning to set sail into entrepreneurial waters. Early obstacles and initial failures must not be a reason to give up, but should be viewed exclusively as necessary and valuable lessons on the path to building a stable and successful business.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n The event was funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Italy.\r\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Merging youth potential with the real needs of the economy represents a key step in building a strong innovation ecosystem.
