The third cohort of the SEE UP Accelerator — the first private sales-scout accelerator in Southeast Europe — was officially presented at the FEFA Faculty in Belgrade.

From over 180 applicants, four outstanding startups were selected: eFrontiers, Protokol, Office Bite, and PETNUTRA. With SEE UP’s strategic support, these teams are driving innovation and scaling globally across the FinTech, Pet, and BioTech sectors.

The event also featured an engaging discussion on the future of FinTech and how collaboration between large financial institutions and agile startups is shaping the next wave of growth.

In a fireside chat moderated by Jelisaveta Lazarević, Vice Dean of the FEFA Faculty, Petar Jovanović, President of the Executive Board at AIK Bank, shared valuable insights on the evolving relationship between banks and startups.

“The banks of the future will rely on the speed and adaptability of startups just as much as startups will rely on the knowledge and experience of banks to build sustainable and profitable business models.”
