PREDA Plus officially launched the Green Tech Pelagonia startup program with an introductory session at the UKLO COLORS Collaborative Space (CoSpace), within the Student Information Center at University St. Kliment Ohridski in Bitola.
The event brought together all selected startup teams and mentors, marking the beginning of a structured and practice-oriented startup journey. The program continues with group and individual sessions based on the Google Sprint methodology, alongside a specialized training track covering key topics essential for startup growth: brand strategy development, sales strategies, and investor readiness.
The program will conclude at the end of March with a Demo Day, where teams will present their startup business ideas.
We highly value our long-standing collaboration with University St. Kliment Ohridski Bitola, which continues to grow this year through alignment with the activities of the Student Entrepreneurship Center within the European University Alliance COLORS.
This approach creates a tangible development impact by identifying and supporting young teams early, guiding them from academic concepts to concrete, market-ready startup solutions.
Through UKLO COLORS, the program benefits from strong logistical and spatial support, including coworking space, library access, individual work rooms, and full ICT equipment. These resources enable high-quality delivery of both individual and joint sessions, in-person and in hybrid format, while fostering a functional and supportive environment for startup team development.
Green Tech Pelagonia is designed as a structured process that creates a clear path from idea to market and contributes to sustainable, innovative solutions with local and regional impact.
The program is implemented with the support of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and CIF.
