700 Accelerator Hub Grand Opening: A New Chapter in Innovation
On Friday, December 13 th , we proudly opened the doors to the 700 Accelerator Hub at South East European University (SEEU) in Tetovo! This milestone marks an exciting new chapter in driving innovation, fostering entrepreneurship, and stimulating economic growth in the Polog region.
The 700 Accelerator Hub is a dedicated space designed to support startups by providing everything they need to succeed: a collaborative environment, access to essential resources, and a network of experts ready to guide and mentor entrepreneurs toward success.
Two successful programs of “700 Accelerator” have been implemented, during which 55 startups applied with their innovative ideas, and 12 of them were accepted and successfully completed the program. We celebrate these startups and the launch of this new space, which will continue to serve as a catalyst for growth, innovation, and collaboration in the region.
The 700 Accelerator Hub was made possible through the EU for Economic Growth Project, co- financed by the European Union and the German Government, and implemented by GIZ.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for this special day and made the 700 Accelerator Hub a reality! We would like to extend a special thank you to Acad. Prof. Dr. Abdylmenaf Bexheti (Rector of SEEU), Mr. Michalis Rokas (EU Ambassador), Mr. David Oberhuber (GIZ Director), Mr. Mark Barrett (Project Leader), and Mrs. Blerina Zendeli (Head of SEEUTechPark) for their continued support.
The journey has just begun, and we are excited to watch the 700 Accelerator Hub continue to empower, support, and inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs!
