SEE UP at Kopaonik Business Forum

For two consecutive years, SEE UP Accelerator has hosted and moderated dedicated panels at the Kopaonik Business Forum, bringing together leading voices from Serbia’s innovation, startup, investment, and financial ecosystem.

In March 2025, SEE UP hosted the panel “What Would You Change in Serbia’s Innovation Ecosystem?”, moderated by Dušan Obradović, General Manager of SEE UP Accelerator. The discussion brought together Maja Anđelković, Marko Carević, Lav Odorović, Ivan Trifunović, and Goran Pitić, who shared their perspectives on strengthening connections between science and entrepreneurship, encouraging greater ambition, reducing regulatory barriers, connecting innovation with global markets, and reforming education.

In March 2026, SEE UP returned to the Kopaonik Business Forum with the panel “Speed as the New Currency: How FinTech Startups Are Changing the Rules,”. Alongside Dušan Obradović, the panel featured Petar Jovanović, CEO of AIK Bank, Luka Prelević, Director at Hallas Direct and Uroš Cop. The discussion focused on how FinTech startups are accelerating innovation in financial services, how speed is becoming a key competitive advantage across product development, distribution, partnerships and regulation, and what it takes for companies from the region to build solutions ready for global markets.

Across both editions, SEE UP used the Kopaonik Business Forum as a platform to connect entrepreneurs, investors, corporates, financial institutions and other ecosystem leaders, fostering conversations around the future of innovation and entrepreneurship in the region.

Two years, two different topics, one shared mission: to connect the regional ecosystem with new ideas, global opportunities and meaningful collaboration.
