One of the activities of the S4AI_HUB project aimed at supporting innovation and the development of digital solutions is the implementation of the Launcher Programme \u2013 a national accelerator programme for startups.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Launcher Programme is intended for early-stage teams working on the creation of innovative products and services with market potential. Through structured support, the programme helps startups improve their ideas, develop sustainable business models, validate their solutions, and prepare for further growth and market entry.<\/span><\/p>\n

The programme provides support through education, mentoring, and <\/span>non-refundable financial support amounting to RSD 1,400,000 per team<\/b>, enabling teams to improve their products, better understand user needs, and build the foundations for successful business development.<\/span><\/p>\n

Launcher is intended for teams that have moved beyond the initial idea stage and are already working on the development of a concept, prototype, or early versions of a product. A particular focus of the programme is on solutions that use advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence, and have the potential for application across different industries.<\/span><\/p>\n

Through two phases of support, selected teams go through an intensive educational and mentoring process. The first phase focuses on developing a business model, market research, defining product value, and preparing for further development, while the second phase involves an incubation period during which teams continue working on product development, solution testing, and preparation for commercialisation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Through the support provided by S4AI_HUB, participants of the Launcher Programme gain access to additional services offered by the European Digital Innovation Hub for Artificial Intelligence, including support in the areas of digital transformation, AI technology adoption, solution testing and improvement, access to experts, funding opportunities, and networking with relevant partners.<\/span><\/p>\n

This year, the Launcher Programme is being implemented by the Science and Technology Park Ni\u0161 within the project Serbian European Digital Innovation Hub on AI \u2013 S4AI_HUB, co-funded by the European Commission through the Digital Europe Programme, with the support of the City of Ni\u0161 and the company Fazi.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Applications for the Launcher Programme are open until <\/span>3 June 2026<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n
