A Startup Camp for students is being held in Vučje from April 7th to 12th, organized by the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center (IPC) Tehnopolis, in cooperation with the Faculty of Economics.
The camp brought together 17 students from the Faculty of Economics, Maritime Studies, Faculty of Tourism and Hotel Management, Faculty of Science and Mathematics, Biotechnical Engineering and Electrical Engineering of the University of Montenegro, and over the course of five days, participants will have the opportunity to develop their innovative ideas with the support of experienced mentors through an intensive program that includes workshops, lectures, practical exercises and teamwork.
"Investing in young people is investing in the future of innovation, and Tehnopolis is proud to organize this story for the second year in a row in cooperation with the Faculty of Economics, which connects people, creates new opportunities and builds the foundations of sustainable development. Students need practice and experience, and the Startup Camp is an exceptional platform to apply theoretical knowledge in real conditions. Through such programs, teamwork, leadership and innovative thinking skills are also developed," said Tehnopolis Executive Director, Đorđije Malović, at the camp's opening ceremony.
Prof. Dr. Zdenka Dragašević, Vice-Dean for Education at the Faculty of Economics, emphasized the importance of connecting the academic community with the economy.
"At the Faculty of Economics, we strive to foster a spirit of research, openness, and constant progress. We believe that students are not just passive recipients of knowledge, but rather initiators of change. This camp is an opportunity for them to show that," said Dragašević.
The President of the Nikšić Municipal Assembly, Nemanja Vuković, said that Nikšić remains committed to supporting young people and developing innovative entrepreneurship.
"I am glad to see many young people who want to get involved in innovation, who want to develop their startups, and I believe that this is the future of Nikšić and the future of Montenegro," said Vuković.
Through the Startup Camp program, students will learn about the startup ecosystem of Montenegro and ways to develop business ideas, master the Lean Canvas methodology and Design Thinking approach, explore sources of financing and learn how to present their ideas to investors, and develop concrete business models that solve real problems.
In addition to the educational part, participants will also enjoy additional activities such as hiking tours, movie nights, and evening socializing.
At the end of the camp, the teams will present their ideas to a panel of expert judges, and the best ones will be awarded.
