A call for expression of interest was launched on October 18th and a second cycle of the VOICT OIL started after the kick-off event organized on November 14th, within the premises of ‘Business Incubator Novi Sad’ in the European Youth Capital for 2019 - city of Novi Sad.

8 companies presented their challenges to 34 young talents (potential solvers) who were expected to work in teams and jointly try to generate new innovative solutions and also to develop entrepreneurial skills through series of trainings organized within OIL.

Since December, 25 young talents gathered around 8 teams and started to work with their mentors on the challenges they chose. At the moment, all activities within the OIL have been intensified as, through solvers-mentors meetings and entrepreneurship trainings, young talents have been trying to do their best and get ready for the 2nd Local Demo Day which will be organized in April. Teams will get a chance to present the solutions to the challenges they’ve been trying to solve. The best team will have a possibility to go to the 2nd  International Demo Day in Ulm, Germany, where all of the 7 open innovation labs established by DA-SPACE project partners will participate.

Vojvodina ICT Cluster is a business association of IT companies and University of Novi Sad is a higher education institution, both are from Novi Sad (Serbia), and both are partners in DA-SPACE project.
