Last weekend, the Master seminar took place as part of the second educational segment of the fifth Free Entrepreneurship Academy, a key initiative under the Digital Economy for Balanced and Resilient Economic Development project. This project is financed by the NCR Foundation and implemented by the Association for the Affirmation of Culture (ASK). The seminar gathered top young entrepreneurs from across Serbia, as reported by Danas.
A total of 11 participants, organized into 3 teams and 5 individuals, took part in intensive practical workshops covering various topics such as defining business goals, creating MVP solutions, developing strategies for sales and business scaling, and marketing and public speaking. The workshops were led by experts and successful entrepreneurs with extensive experience.
The event was capped off with an inspiring lecture by Saša Popović, CEO & Co-Founder of Vega IT, who shared his entrepreneurial journey during the InspireTalk segment. Saša, who authored the book “The Life of an Entrepreneur” published in 2024, donated all proceeds from the book’s sales to scholarships for young talents. Through his active involvement in conferences, mentorships, and organizations like the Digital Serbia Initiative and the Serbian Association of Managers, Saša has been a key contributor to leadership and entrepreneurship development in Serbia.
The seminar kicked off with a session where participants reconnected and shared their experiences, creating a positive and enthusiastic atmosphere throughout the event.
Maja Rubin, program director of the Association for the Affirmation of Culture (ASK), remarked, “The strong connection between the participants and the highly developed team spirit are the best indicators of the Academy’s quality and our commitment to every segment of the program. I believe each participant made significant progress, gaining valuable knowledge and skills that will help them succeed in the upcoming final event on June 13-15 in Belgrade.”
The free Entrepreneurship Academy, under the slogan “Open the Door to Possibilities,” continues to serve as a crucial platform for empowering young entrepreneurs in Serbia. The success of last year’s winners and their flourishing business ventures is a testament to the Academy’s growing influence.
