InnoLeaders: Strengthening Innovation Capacity in Serbia

TUM Inter­na­tio­nal is proud to col­la­bo­ra­te on the Inno­Lea­ders pro­ject, an initia­ti­ve com­mis­sio­ned by the Minis­try of Sci­ence, Tech­no­lo­gi­cal Deve­lo­p­ment and Inno­va­ti­on of the Repu­blic of Ser­bia. Tog­e­ther with our part­ners NALED and the Facul­ty of Orga­niza­tio­nal Sci­en­ces (FON) at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Bel­gra­de, we aim to deve­lop and deli­ver spe­cia­li­zed trai­ning pro­grams for Serbia’s inno­va­ti­on work­force, struc­tu­red into three key tiers:

  • Inno­va­ti­on Lea­ders: Seni­or decis­i­on-makers and eco­sys­tem dri­vers who will par­ti­ci­pa­te in an immersi­ve inno­va­ti­on eco­sys­tem expe­ri­ence in Munich in autumn 2025. This pro­gram offers uni­que oppor­tu­ni­ties for direct exch­an­ge and col­la­bo­ra­ti­on with lea­ders from the Munich inno­va­ti­on eco­sys­tem, fos­te­ring stra­te­gic insights and lea­der­ship capa­bi­li­ties.
  • Inno­va­ti­on Know­ledge Bro­kers: Pro­fes­sio­nals who con­nect diver­se inno­va­ti­on stake­hol­ders, faci­li­ta­ting know­ledge exch­an­ge and col­la­bo­ra­ti­on. They will recei­ve tar­ge­ted trai­ning pro­grams deli­ver­ed both in Bel­gra­de and online, fea­turing invol­vement from experts within the Munich eco­sys­tem to ensu­re high-qua­li­ty, prac­ti­ce-ori­en­ted lear­ning.
  • Inno­va­ti­on Spe­cia­lists: Skil­led experts respon­si­ble for imple­men­ting inno­va­ti­on acti­vi­ties on the ground. They will also bene­fit from tail­o­red trai­ning ses­si­ons con­duc­ted local­ly in Bel­gra­de and via digi­tal plat­forms, enri­ched with inter­na­tio­nal exper­ti­se from Munich.

 

The Inno­Lea­ders pro­ject lever­a­ges the strong exper­ti­se and best prac­ti­ces of the Tech­ni­cal Uni­ver­si­ty of Munich’s inno­va­ti­on eco­sys­tem to design cus­to­mi­zed and impactful trai­ning tail­o­red to the spe­ci­fic needs of each tar­get group.

By fos­te­ring capa­ci­ty buil­ding across all levels of Serbia’s inno­va­ti­on work­force, Inno­Lea­ders exem­pli­fies TUMint’s com­mit­ment to inter­na­tio­nal col­la­bo­ra­ti­on, know­ledge trans­fer, and inno­va­ti­on-dri­ven growth.
