The Ministry of Economy has launched the Entrepreneurship Portal, which is intended for all entrepreneurs and those who want to become entrepreneurs.  

The goal is for entrepreneurs to get, at one place, the information on what they need to start a business, how to get support for further business development, but also on how to achieve good business results.

The site header provides information on reports and studies for small and medium-sized enterprises and entrepreneurs (SMEs), an overview of current support programs, information on electronic services for SMEs, tax relief for employees, customs relief for the import of equipment, rights and obligations regarding the inspection, as well as the support of international development partners that provide favorable loans and grants. The provided support is classified by purpose:

1. "Start-up support" is a program of financial and non-financial support intended for beginners in business.

2.  "Support for growth and development", which presents programs of financial support, intended for investments in SMEs, business improvements and support for new employment opportunities, as well as non-financial support programs in the form of free advisory services.

3. "Support for innovations, digitalization and green economy", which presents support programs for all SMEs that want to increase their competitiveness in the market by introducing innovations, digitalization and the use of new technologies and thus facilitate and accelerate the introduction of the model of circular, green economy, or the economy that changes the way of production.

At the bottom of the site is a network of accredited regional development agencies and a network of technology parks, business incubators and start-up centers, as well as the programs offered to beginners by local self-governments.

The idea of the Entrepreneurship Portal is to be an efficient service to the economy by timely informing about all direct financial support measures and to affirm and encourage the development of entrepreneurial spirit in Serbia.

The application form for the programs of the ministries, their constituent bodies, special organizations, public agencies, local self-governmental units, international development partners and partner organizations can be downloaded on https://preduzetnistvo.gov.rs/.
