Sixth Call for Applications for the Katapult Accelerator Program Closed

Applications for the sixth cohort of the Katapult Accelerator Program are now closed. The Innovation Fund received 126 applications from startups seeking to accelerate their business growth, attract investment, and expand into international markets.

The selection process will now proceed with an eligibility review and an independent international evaluation of applications, followed by the shortlisting of startups. Shortlisted applicants will present their businesses to an independent panel of experts in early 2027.

Selected startups will participate in a three-month acceleration program, benefiting from mentorship by Serbian and international experts, business development support, and opportunities to connect with investors. The program also offers the possibility of receiving non-repayable financial support of up to RSD 36 million, subject to the program's terms and conditions.

Katapult is implemented under the SAIGE Project, with support from the Republic of Serbia, the European Union, and the World Bank.

The Innovation Fund thanks all applicants for their interest in participating in the sixth cohort of the Katapult Accelerator Program.
