Block.IS Cluster Mission Novi Sad
Clusters are crucial for the Block.IS ecosystem. We want to empower clusters to serve as multipliers of comprehensive support our accelerator is offering to innovators. This is why we invite clusters and their most active members working around blockchain technologies to join Block.IS Cluster Missions – a roadshow of short-term brainstorming sessions organized by clusters and for clusters across Europe.
Not a one-time opportunity!
The first (out of 15) Block.IS Cluster Mission will be hosted by Vojvodina ICT Cluster, with support of InoSens (both partners in the project) and collocated with the ninth edition of the Startup Weekend Novi Sad, Serbia Sep 27-28. Startup Weekend is an event where participants have the chance to make a good business story out of their ideas and convince the jury that their idea is the best, that they are ready to implement immediately, and that they know how to do it.
For the entire weekend, competitors will be on the road from an idea to the business model. They will not be left alone. They will get some help from mentors who have already passed that road and proved themselves as successful entrepreneurs.
This is a perfect environment for Block.IS Cluster Mission participates to network with mentors, innovators, entrepreneurs and spread the word about our business accelerator. It is important to mention that the 2019 edition of SW is focused on AgTech field, which is one of the three main verticals Block.IS is supporting and this provides additional potential for the symbiotic effect.
