For a year now, INTERA Technology Park has been participating in the implementation of the Danube Digital Accelerator (DDA) program, which helps startup teams from across the Danube region transform their innovative ICT ideas into sustainable business projects. This is an international acceleration program developed through the CapTTict project and funded by the Interreg Danube Region Programme, which promotes research, innovation, and collaboration in the digital sector.
Through the DDA program, students, researchers, and startup teams from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Germany, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, and Ukraine have the opportunity to turn their ideas into sustainable business projects with the support of mentors, experts, and international partners.
The developed DDA methodology provides teams with a structured path from idea to market through several carefully designed phases. Selected teams within each cohort undergo an intensive four-month program of workshops, mentoring, access to resources, and networking with investors. The project has selected three cohorts that bring together teams from across the Danube region, creating an environment where they develop projects, exchange experiences, and learn from one another with the support of mentors and experts.
The third cohort of the DDA program is currently underway, with selected teams from across the Danube region undergoing an intensive process of developing their business ideas. As a project partner, INTERA Technology Park is actively involved in the implementation of the program, providing mentorship and support to the teams. Through workshops, direct collaboration with mentors, and access to resources, INTERA contributes to strengthening the capacities of startup teams and connecting them with international markets.
By the end of the project, the Danube Digital Accelerator will support a total of 30 startup teams, equipping them for sustainable business operations and preparing them to continue their development and contribute to the digital transformation of the region. The program will conclude with an international event in Prague in early 2026, where participants will have the opportunity to present their projects to a global audience of investors and media.
The project is co-financed by the European Union through the Interreg Danube Region Programme.
