Business Incubator Novi Sad
Website: http://www.nosic.ns.ac.yu/incubationCentre.html

technology or other entrepreneur needs to build a successful business. A total of
4000 square meters should be developed, with a tenant focus on high-tech
companies but flexibly accepting other similar companies on a temporary basis if
space is available.
The Novi Sad Incubation Centre will provide:
• Quality equipped building - new or an adapted one provided by the
municipality of Novi Sad;
• Shared use of specialized scientific and business equipment and common
building spaces;
• On-site staff and consultant management assistance in budgeting and cost
control, personnel management, purchasing and marketing;
• Networking opportunities that will encourage the entrepreneur to interact with
other companies inside and outside the incubator for experience sharing and
problem solving;
• Assistance in obtaining financing for equipment and operations through
preparation of business plans and linkages to seed and start-up venture funds,
as well as to support from regional, state and European development funds.
The Business Incubator Novi Sad will play and essential role in the Novi Sad
