Second-year students attending the Managing technology and development course at the Faculty of organizational sciences of the University of Belgrade in the period February – May 2020 had the opportunity to test the BOSS platform with different ideas and entrepreneurial endeavors based on new technologies developed as a response to identified challenges. Within the course, 155 new endeavors were developed and evaluated by 690 students with the support of teaching assistants Milica Jovanović and Jovana Rakićević, and under the leadership of prof. dr. Maja Levi-Jakšić.

By utilizing the BOSS platform, student teams have self-assessed their business ideas, checked and upgraded their knowledge, and gained significant feedback regarding the potential improvements of their endeavors.

After the whole process was finalized, the students have sent their impressions, evaluations of the platform, and proposals for future improvements.

On the 5th of March, during the Machine design course class at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, prof. dr. Radivoje Mitrović and Tamara Čolić Milosavljević provided support to students with the utilization of the BOSS platform. The class began with a short presentation of the BOSS platform and embedded innovative tools and educational material, after which the participants had the opportunity to assess different business opportunities and to get more insight into the business development planning process and key points which should be taken into consideration during business opportunity development.

 

During the last week of February, IEC Tehnopolis in cooperation with the Montenegrin Ministry of Economy realized a training course for innovation brokers.

The course aimed to develop a new professional personality, important in the context of European policies 2014-2020 and after 2020, especially in measures focused on improving the cooperation between businesses and the knowledge system.

Accordingly, this training enabled the attendees to adopt new knowledge and become a link between the research structure, business sector, and final users, which should lead to the development of new products and services.

During the second day of the training focused on new ways of research results application, tools for assessment, development, and protection of results, and intellectual property valorization as a strategic remedy, participants had the opportunity to learn more about tools developed within the BOSS project and their benefits.

The potential of the BOSS platform was presented by Nedeljko Milosavljević and Tamara Čolić Milosavljević to attendees who had the opportunity to test the platform and assess different business opportunities.
