10.07.2021. CIP UNZE: TEN YEARS OF OPERATION OF INTER TECHNOLOGY PARK IN MOSTAR

Intera technology park in Mostar (www.intera.ba) celebrated on 10.07.2021. ten successful years of work. Namely, the idea of TP in Mostar dates back more than 15 years, and the 10th anniversary is the period since TP Intera was formally registered in organizational forms as a foundation. Undoubtedly, one of the most successful examples of the development of forms of technology parks in the Balkans, although numerous elements of support that such organizational forms, according to the theory of establishment, should have did not go hand in hand. But that didn't stop a team of enthusiasts led by Eng. Davor Krezić and Mladen Kostić from the AlfaTherm company and later Vedran Šimunović and other collaborators from doing a huge job on the development of TP Inter. Today, Intera is one of the most prestigious technology parks in the region with a wide range of activities that similar parks in Italy, Spain, Germany or Slovenia also cultivate, and with the vision that in the future it will be what is often simply said mathematically: Technology park = space + people with knowledge + services of knowledge. In this sense, it is to be expected that in the years to come, the academic community and other elements of the triple-helix model will become more involved in this development project, so that INTERA will continue its work with even greater enthusiasm in the coming decades. Since its establishment in 2008, CIP UNZE has been a partner and a strong support for "the student to overtake and surpass the teacher", which is the greatest award and recognition for someone who laid the foundations of TP in Mostar together with the current team of TP Inter. Today, TP Intera has dozens of companies created as spin-offs or as a result of the innovative entrepreneurial environment that Intera strives to nurture and develop for the benefit of the Herzegovina region and beyond.
