The France-Serbia Innovation Forum was launched in 2022 to stimulate thematic exchanges in line with the two countries’ common challenges.

In the spirit of sharing best practices and knowledge in selected areas of mutual interest to France and Serbia, entrepreneurs and researchers meet at round tables to inform and exchange views on their different visions of innovation management. In this way, the Innovation Forum responds to the need to promote the science, know-how, and capabilities of French-Serbian higher education, institutions, and industries.

On the occasion of the forum, a hackathon is organized with our partner Foundation Tempus to promote an entrepreneurial mindset in the youth.

In the afternoon following the forum, Mission France takes place. This is a unique initiative designed for the startups on their “market discovery mission”, helping them to improve their export potential and access new investment.

Throughout all its editions, the forum has covered digitalizing industrial processes, the future of agriculture and food, biotechnologies, AI, and green techs to tackle climate change.
