Certificates to participants of the IT Cluster Academy

Our activities inspire and transform community

Through the project ICT Cluster Academy, the companies for the first time actively participated in the preparation of the curriculum in order for the training to be completely harmonized with their real needs. By following the latest trends in education, we constantly improve the quality of the program.

The lectures and meetings with high-school students, but also the promotion through media and social networks contributed to an increased interest in the technical faculties. On the other hand, the meetings with university students increased the interest in the companies from the Cluster. We continue to promote the IT and advanced technologies as the most promising fields of work.

The synergetic effect of cluster cooperation was best exemplified in the project of developing HUNTER x 4, the most sophisticated night sight in the world. Optoelectronics, ICT, mechanics and automation from the Nis region, through a joint venture, proved the region to be capable of independently developing a superior product for the world market.

We have facilitated a number of consortiums, and our companies receive funding from the Innovation Fund, the Ministry of Science and other funds because most of them officially have the status of an innovative organization.

A pool of project ideas has been developed in the areas of technology – smart cities, health, aging, environment protection, robotics, and optoelectronics. Moreover, we have also developed a pool of cluster ideas related to education, quality improvement, networking and further use of advanced technologies. We are open for cooperation and further partnerships with clusters, companies and institutions from around the world.

We are strategically connected with the organizations from the region and the world, and we use the best practices in our work at the same time creating opportunities for our members.

NiCAT is one the best among our champions for spurring local economic growth and for stimulating discussion on scientific and business competitiveness. NiCAT is one of Serbia's greatest visionaries and most enthusiastic mentors.

Howard Ockman, Chief of Party, USAID Sustainable Local Development Project
