Z amislite da vaša ideja putuje brže od vas. Da obilazi planetu i dopire do investitora i donosioca odluka iz celog sveta na najvišem nivou – dok lete avionom. Upravo to omogućava SkyPitch – prva inovativna digitalna platforma u Srbiji koja omogućava startapima da svoje poslovne ideje predstave globalnoj publici – direktno tokom međunarodnih avionskih letova kompanije Er Srbija. Putnici imaju priliku da putem ekrana u avionu gledaju prezentacije najperspektivnijih domaćih startapa, uz mogućnost direktne interakcije sa osnivačima. – SkyPitch je projekat koji na najbolji način izražava inovativni duh i globalni potencijal naše zemlje. Podstiče vidljivost domaćih talenata i istovremeno gradi održiv model za promociju srpskih inovacija na globalnom tržištu – izjavio je akademik Bela Balint, ministar nauke, tehnološkog razvoja i inovacija. Prisutnima se obratio i Jirži Marek, generalni direktor Er Srbije, koji je ukazao da je u prvoj fazi projekta pažljivo izabrano 12 domaćih startapa čije će se video-prezentacije emitovati tokom dugolinijskih letova, donoseći njihove priče pred pažnju investitora, poslovnih lidera i inovacionih ekosistema širom sveta. – Naša krila spajaju kontinente, ali simbolično i daju krila mladim inovatorima, pomažući im da polete ka svetu punom mogućnosti – rekao je Marek.
I magine your idea travelling faster than you, circling the planet and reaching the highest level of investors and decisionmakers around the world – while aboard a flight. That’s precisely what’s enabled by SkyPitch – Serbia’s first innovative digital platform allowing start-ups to present their business ideas to a global audience, directly, during Air Serbia’s international flights. It provides passengers with an opportunity to watch presentations of the most promising domestic start-ups through screens on the plane, together with the possibility of interacting directly with the founders of those start-ups. “SkyPitch is a project that expresses the innovative spirit and global potential of our country in the best possible way. It enhances the visibility of domestic talents, while simultaneously building a sustainable model for the promotion of Serbian innovations on the global market,“ explained Bela Balint, academic and Serbian minister of Science, Technological Development and Innovation, speaking at the project’s presentation. Attendees were also addressed by Air Serbia CEO Jiri Marek, who explained that the first phase of the project had included the careful selection of 12 domestic start-ups, whose video presentations would be broadcast during the airline’s long-haul flights, thus bringing their stories to the attention of investors, business leaders and innovation ecosystems around the world. “Our wings connect continents, but they symbolically also give wings to young innovators, helping them to take flight towards a world filled with possibilities,” said Marek.
