The Innovation Fund of Montenegro held an Info Day on the public call for the submission of challenges under the first phase of the Programme for Financing Innovative Solutions in the Public Sector – GovTech 2026.
The event was intended for representatives of public sector institutions interested in participating in the programme. Its aim was to provide participants with a more detailed overview of the public call requirements, the criteria for submitting challenges, and the application procedure.
During the Info Day, the objectives and implementation of the programme were presented, along with the opportunities GovTech offers to public sector institutions to identify specific challenges in their operations and develop innovative technological solutions to address them. Participants also had the opportunity to receive additional clarifications and answers to questions regarding the preparation and submission of challenges.
For those who were unable to attend the event, a recording of the Info Day is available on the Fund's YouTube channel, along with the presentation delivered at the event: Download the presentation.
