Podgorica, (MINA-BUSINESS) – The Innovation Fund has launched a public call under the second phase of the GovTech programme for companies and research organizations to develop innovative technological solutions tailored to the needs of the public sector.

The total budget amounts to €2 million.

“The GovTech programme connects the public sector with the innovation ecosystem, with the aim of addressing concrete public administration challenges through the application of modern technologies,” the Fund stated in a press release.

In the first phase of the programme, public sector institutions submitted specific challenges for which there are no adequate solutions available on the market.

An expert commission of the Fund selected the challenges with the greatest potential to be addressed through innovative technological approaches. The list of selected challenges is available on the Fund’s official website.

“In the second phase of the programme, companies and scientific research organizations have the opportunity to submit proposals for innovative solutions to the selected challenges. Projects chosen after evaluation will receive financial support for prototype development, pilot testing, or adaptation of existing technologies to public sector needs,” the Fund stated.
