Entrepreneurship is essential
for economic survival of Serbia.
A way for generations
that can't find a job,
especially younger generations,
to find meaning of life and self fulfillment.
For me, etrepreneurship is a matter of freedom
Out of one hundred people
only two will create their job
instead of applying for it.
Do you know what's the only difference
between you and them?
It's not an idea
because so many of you have ideas
It's not even money
because a good idea always finds the buyer
The problem is fear.
Fear of challenge, risk, and failure
Biomelem decided to support women entrepreneurship
because we found it was the best way to repay our female customers for several decades of loyalty
At least ten women from Serbia is going to get our support.
We've selected ideas with best chance to reach their markets and consumers fast
Branded their ideas, and finacialy helped the women make the first set of their products
We've placed the products on the market
and helped them charge and develop the project further
It can't go faster than this. From idea to realization, it takes around seven or eight months.
According to statistic records, entrepreneurship is a dominant part of economy today
in a non financial sector here in Serbia
99.8 percent of all the companies are part of this sector.
The state has an incentive measures system for entrepreneurship
which of course is not sufficient by itself
mostly in financial sense. The budget limitations are very big
The Intensity and extent of incentives are not suited for the actual need for state's entrepreneurship development
So entrepreneurship is supported non financialy
That includes different kind of trainings, consultations, business advices, etc.
There are also a number of grants and incentive loans for entrepreneurs
This kind of support, the state provides, like trainings etc.,
are used by no more than 15 percent of entrepreneurs.
I believe that the concept of entrepreneurship in culture, even in theory, is still undefined
and i'm not sure that even in our cultural program policies some definition exists
and that very often money becomes the goal and main objective
which transforms cultural happenings in mass culture events.
Because of it, most groups
that work on some kind of initiatives in culture
are making an effort to maintain some degree of independacy, so in that way
they can focus much more on creative work and less on profit, although the profit still has to come.
In our activities we mostly used art as means for shaping and forming these locations
that's how the Street Galery and Inex Film were created
I think that a single preson can really contribute a lot to society
and very often all you need is an idea and a bit of persistence.
I really believe that my involvement contributed to overall improvement of life here in Belgrade
whether it's influencing the development and improvement of different elements of city transportation
or planting more than five hundred trees. Soon that number will go up to fifteen hundred,
then there's also sanitation of more than hundred and fifty sewer drains, which resulted in a lot less floods and puddles in the streets.
There were also a lot of bicycle track reconstructions. And all that was done thanks to involvement of only one person
When was the last time you believed in yourself?
When have you believed so much, that you were not afraid,
so much, that you were ready to risk everything
to leap
and not think of falling?
Effort is always worth it,
unless it's for something bad. If you work for a good cause and general well being of others
it will be noticed by everyone and have an excellent impact on our lives and surroundings.
There has been a lot of initiative from people lately.
They started to realize that they are the ones shaping and forming their surroundings, and
that they can't stay low and play numb, or just complain
and not do anything about it. The doing part is crucial
and i have to say, I see more and more people taking action recently.
Maybe one person can't change a whole state. But city, it definitely can
