Poslovni Inkubator Novi Sad

What Poslovni Inkubator Novi Sad does

Poslovni Inkubator Novi Sad (PINS) is a private business incubator founded in 2010 and headquartered at Vojvodanskih brigada 28 in Novi Sad, Serbia. It operates an 800-840m2 facility comprising 18 private offices (12-26m2 each), a coworking space of over 100m2 with 30+ workstations, a 25-seat conference room, two additional meeting rooms, and shared kitchen amenities, all served by 80 Mb/s internet with 24/7 access. The incubator serves early-stage IT companies, creative industry firms, freelancers, and pre-incubation entrepreneurs in the Vojvodina region, providing plug-and-play workspace plus mentoring, business consulting, administrative support (mail, call forwarding, bookkeeping, legal advisory), and access to international networks including Enterprise Europe Network, IASP, and Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs.

PINS monetises through a subscription-based workspace rental model: coworking membership is priced at 79 EUR per month for legal entities or 9,400 RSD per month for individuals, while private office rental terms are disclosed only upon inquiry. Supplementary revenue comes from meeting room rental to non-tenants and consulting or mentoring services. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via website inquiries and onsite sales at the Novi Sad facility. The organisation's go-to-market also includes a community-led layer anchored by recurring events such as IDEAthon (28-hour online entrepreneurship competition) and BIZ Hackathon (24-hour student hackathon), which serve as top-of-funnel tenant acquisition channels.

The business model is materially supported by donor and institutional funding rather than purely commercial revenue. PINS maintains partnerships with USAID, the Austrian Development Cooperation (ADC), the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina (APV), the Regional Development Agency (RAV), the Faculty of Technical Sciences Novi Sad (FTN), and EU-funded programs including the Interreg IPA CBC Croatia-Serbia CB Net project (worth 377,992.71 EUR) and the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs Practyce VI consortium (2023-2027). These partnerships fund programs, procurement, and operational subsidies, lowering the cost basis of service delivery and underwriting the incubator's event programming and tenant support activities. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed, and the organisation operates with a small 1-10 employee team.
