Belgrade has earned the HUB Candidate status and with it the opportunity to become part of the global HUB network family. This is a unique chance for all entrepreneurs, innovators, start-uppers, creative individuals, people with ideas and inspirations in Belgrade to collaborate and create ventures locally while connecting worldwide with networked enterprising Hubbers.

What is The HUB? 
The HUB is a collaborative platform, an eco-system empowering, incubating and accelerating innovative ideas and endeavors that have the goal of generating social change, entrepreneurship and profit. The HUB services social needs and market demands, enabling business ideas to be conceived, developed, sustained and/or enhanced. The HUB we are bringing to Belgrade: 
• “Is fun, it is like Facebook and LinkedIn, it is even better because it is real...”
• “Offers something that does not exist…information, knowledge , a space for sharing and dialogue…”
• “Is a soul mingle, idea space for freedom…”
• “Is like the confluence of Danube and Sava, the freedom of possibilities entrepreneurs create…”

Who is The HUB Candidate Belgrade Team?
We are an eclectic, diverse, multicultural and trans-national team passionate about overcoming limits through building entrepreneurship and innovation. As experienced development and business professionals, we are motivated and inspired by the values produced through cross-sectorial dialogue, filling the gaps between social needs and untapped potentials and mobilizing entrepreneurial energy. We create fun and inspiring adrenaline and we look forward to venturing with you in this exciting process of establishing the Hub in Belgrade.

Why does Belgrade need The HUB?
Belgrade is a yard of human and social capital, creative people whose untapped potential needs to be transformed into engines of entrepreneurial spirit and active citizenship. Belgrade is a "soul mingle", a place where the high-ranking social life and relationships are to be recognized as resources in producing economic gain and an economy of scale. The HUB unlocks tools, means to generate the missing links bridging (social) needs and (market) opportunities. Providing hosted and facilitated collaboration and exchange, intentional encounters and tailored services in an “open space” environment, The HUB breeds and nurtures local ventures and further renders them recognizable and visible on a global map.

How does Belgrade become The HUB?
Our Team gained the exclusive right to explore HOW to found a HUB in Belgrade with a viable business model (feasibility study). This first step is all about demonstrating how Belgrade enhances innovation through collaboration that The HUB creates through peer to peer learning, impact venture incubation, meaningful events and hosting. During the follow-on phase, Belgrade as “Initiative” will work to get The HUB Belgrade up-and-running!
