Science Technology Park Belgrade — Quadruple-Helix Tech Growth Hub

The Science Technology Park Belgrade (Naučno-tehnološki park Beograd) opened in 2015 as Serbia's first science-technology park, established through a partnership between the Government of Serbia (Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development), the City of Belgrade, the University of Belgrade, and the Swiss Government, which contributed a total of EUR 4.97 million across two funding stages (EUR 1.07 million and EUR 3.9 million) via the Swiss-Serbian Cooperation Programme.

As of 2026 the park has supported the accelerated development of more than 240 tech companies, roughly two-thirds of them early-stage startups, employing over 2,800 highly educated staff and exporting to more than 60 countries. It runs eight tailored development programmes, including ParkUP! (a student startup bootcamp now in its 8th generation) and Raising Starts, described as Serbia's first dedicated pre-seed accelerator, alongside three physical innovation laboratories (3D, Laser and Electro) and a softlanding service for international companies entering the Serbian market. It hosts the Business Technology Incubator of Technical Faculties Belgrade (BITF) and the Innovation Fund of the Republic of Serbia on site.

The park's operating model — public-private-university-donor partnership funding a shared physical and programmatic innovation infrastructure — has since been extended to three further Serbian cities (Novi Sad, Niš and Čačak) plus affiliated innovation hubs in Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Reported figures on companies, jobs and exports come from the park's own reporting and the European Investment Bank, which profiled the park as a donor case study; no independent academic evaluation of net additionality (jobs or revenue that would not have existed without the park) was found.
