SEE UP Accelerator hosted its Demo Day for the SEE UP Duo Cohort 2 at the FEFA Faculty in Belgrade — bringing together startups, investors, corporates, and key innovation ecosystem players from across Serbia and internationally.

More than just a pitch event, Demo Day once again confirmed SEE UP’s role as one of the fastest-growing accelerators in Southeast Europe — not only supporting startups, but actively creating pathways to capital, partnerships, and global expansion.

At the core of the event were four carefully selected startups from the SEE UP cohort, each representing strong market validation and international scalability:
● eFrontiers (Switzerland) – a financial education platform building digital solutions to improve financial literacy for individuals and institutions
● PETNUTRA (USA) – a science-backed pet longevity company developing next-generation supplements
● protokol (Serbia) – a fintech infrastructure solution modernizing and optimizing financial processes
● Office Bite (Serbia) – a corporate meal management and food ordering platform for companies

A defining moment of this Demo Day was the introduction of a structured VC speed-dating format, designed to move beyond inspiration and into action. In a single room, 17 selected startups met with 17 international VC funds and investment representatives.

The program also featured a panel discussion titled “Innovation Bridge: Corporations & Startups”, moderated by Siniša Marčić from the Regional Cooperation Council (RCC), alongside a keynote by Ema Horvat (Clever Clover) on DACH corporate–startup collaboration.

The event also welcomed Nikola Mehandžić, who introduced the newly established Balkan Fintech Association (BFA) and its vision for strengthening regional fintech collaboration.

Demo Day gathered an exceptional group of investors and ecosystem partners, including representatives from venture capital funds, corporate innovation arms, and global platforms — all aligned around discovering and supporting high-potential startups.

This event would not have been possible without the continued support of TS Ventures Fund, Centar za digitalnu transformaciju, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia, AIK Banka, and the Swiss Entrepreneurship Program.

SEE UP Demo Day is not an endpoint — it is a starting point. The connections made, conversations initiated, and opportunities explored are expected to evolve into long-term partnerships, investments, and success stories.
