When it comes to investing in the innovation and startup ecosystem, Serbia is rated as one of the leaders in creating conditions for attracting foreign capital to this sector, especially in the ecosystem of Belgrade and Novi Sad.
According to this report, the reasons for such a thing lie in the education system, operating costs and tax incentives.

At the same time, the founders of startup companies in Serbia have the right to complete exemption from all payroll taxes during the first three years of operation.

The Serbian educational system is building an excellent engineering base in STEM areas, which enables young innovators to deal with new concepts and business models related to the most modern technologies.
The report points out that programming was introduced as part of the compulsory program from the fifth grade of primary school, as well as that more than 35 high schools in Serbia have specialized IT departments that implement programs for the most talented students. In addition, the report states, more than 80 high schools in Serbia specialize in computer science and electrical engineering.
