The Business Technology Incubator of Technical Faculties Belgrade (BITF) is Serbia’s first and leading business technology incubator that provides comprehensive support to young, educated people in developing innovative ideas and starting their businesses!

For more than a decade, BITF has maintained close links with young innovators and students and through numerous activities and trainings encourages the development of new startup teams, the commercialization of innovation and R&D results, as well as the creation of new hi-tech SMEs.

Founded by four technology faculties of the University of Belgrade (Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy), the Municipality of Palilula and the Democratic Transition Initiative, BITF is today part of Science Technology Park Belgrade (STP Belgrade) in charge for supporting startups at the early stages of development (Incubation Program).

Successful stories from our startup program

When you start a venture, you often feel like you have everything to learn and nothing to offer. However, when motivated individuals demonstrate their commitment to their ideas and put in hard work, someone eventually notices and recognizes their efforts. In our case, that support came from BITF, which provided all the logistical assistance that our newly formed small team needed. This support allowed us to grow and learn organically without the fear of failing too soon. We received an office, various consultations, and encouragement during challenging times, all within a community of colleagues who shared similar experiences. This environment fueled our determination and energy, enabling us to evolve into a "real company."
Ivan Gligorijević, mBrainTrain
BITF has been a great support to us from the very beginning. BITF team guided us, gave useful advice and provided services that allowed us to focus exclusively on product development. In addition to business infrastructure, a huge advantage of this environment is working in the space with a large number of startup companies. The incubator also provided us with the mentorship of experts from the private sector, helped build a reputation and connect with many people from the industry.
Miloš Milisavljević, Strawberry Energy
The newly established company received the support of BITF, where, thanks to specialist services, it was able to focus on its basic goal: to try to do what it does best. In addition, we were surrounded by other technology companies with whom you can share experiences and support, and cooperation with technical faculties is of great importance. Such a working and creative environment encourage rapid development, which can be seen in the results achieved by companies that have grown out of the Incubator.
