On March 25th, SEE UP had the pleasure of bringing together founders, innovators, and ecosystem leaders for a special evening at the Serbian Business Club Privrednik in Belgrade.

At the heart of the event was Cris Auditore Zimmermann from Medici Global Ventures — a globally recognized voice at the intersection of innovation, fintech, and ecosystem building.

What followed was not just a talk, but a journey through time, ideas, and legacy.

Cris shared her personal and professional path, offering insights into how global ecosystems are shaped, but also took us deeper into the story of the Medici family — a name synonymous with vision, influence, and long-term impact.

Through this lens, we explored what it truly means to build something that lasts beyond immediate success: a legacy.

The evening was further enriched by a powerful conversation on longevity, led together with Ernest Vlačić, PhD, Professor, who connected the concept of long-term thinking not only to business, but to life itself.

The discussion opened a broader perspective on how sustainability, health, and purpose are all essential elements of enduring success.

We are especially grateful to the Serbian Business Club Privrednik for hosting us in such a remarkable space, and to Erich P. Cossutta and Sonja Cossutta for their warmth and hospitality.

A special thank you also goes to Dina Raković and Dragijana Radonjić Petrović for their continuous support in making this event possible.

This gathering would not have come to life without the collaboration and friendship of Dušan Obradović and Lav Odorović, whose shared vision helped bring together such an inspiring group of people.

At SEE UP, we believe that real value is created at the intersection of people, ideas, and opportunity.

Events like this remind us why we do what we do — to connect those who are building the future, and to foster an ecosystem where knowledge, experience, and ambition can grow together.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to this unforgettable evening.

This is what building a global ecosystem looks like — one meaningful connection at a time.
