On December 14, 2007 the opening and promotion of the Business & Technology incubator of technical faculties Belgrade (BITF) was celebrated and officially inaugurated by the Ambassador of the OSCE Mission to Serbia Hans Ola Urstad and in the presence of more than 100 guests.
Amongst others, the B&T Incubator can count on the support of the Ministry of Science of the Republic of Serbia, the City of Belgrade - the Secretariat for the Economy, as well as the OSCE Mission to Serbia, the Israel Government and USAID.

The major objectives of the first year of BITF operations are in short:
▪ the preparation of young graduate students of technical faculties to start their own businesses,
▪ the development of innovations in the process of transferring knowledge and technologies from the faculties to the practice,
▪ and the support to innovative start-up businesses/BITF tenants by providing education, consulting and mentoring services.

As first results of the incubator there can be mentioned the establishment of a Club of students/potential entrepreneurs, and two project awards at the competition for the best technological innovation – amongst others.

The Ministry of Science is funding the first set of innovative projects implemented by the BITF, in order to develop and commercialize new products, services and technologies.

The City of Belgrade - Secretariat for Economy within the Job Creation Program, supported the development and improvement of BITF functions in order to encourage SME development.

B&T Incubator is organizing a new series of the training program “How to start own business” with support of the OSCE for which applications are received at the webpage (http://www.bitf.co.yu/srpski/services/consulting.jsf).
