“Through project activities, we are going to provide support to organisations that comprise the domestic entrepreneurial scene, in order for them to become sustainable and able to assist start-ups in an easier and more efficient manner,” said Pauline Menthonnex, Deputy Head of the Swiss Mission at the Embassy of Switzerland in Serbia.

The programme is implemented by Swisscontact, a Swiss organisation that is currently implementing projects in over 30 countries worldwide.

According to Philip Hostert, SECO Programme Manager for Serbia, “the programme’s goal is to advance entrepreneurial performances.”
