INO4YOUTH

Inovacione radionice za mlade u Crnoj Gori – INO4YOUTH (eng. Innovation Workshops for Youth in Montenegro)

About

The INO4YOUTH project, led by the Montenegrin Association for New Technologies (MANT), is an initiative aimed at strengthening the innovation culture among youth in Montenegro, with a strong focus on technological innovation. The project will be implemented in three cities – Podgorica, Bar, and Berane – through a series of educational workshops combining theoretical lectures, practical team-based work, and mentoring support.

A specialized team of experts in electronics, mechatronics, software engineering, biotechnology, and health innovations will guide participants aged 15–30, encouraging them to develop their own ideas, learn the basics of prototyping, testing, and presenting innovative solutions before expert panels.

Beyond the direct participants, the broader public will be informed about the project’s activities and results through online campaigns, media outreach, and a final public presentation. The project aims to raise awareness about the importance of innovation for sustainable development, motivate young people to take a proactive approach to innovation processes, and connect them with the existing national innovation ecosystem.
Duration: 2025-2026.
