HUB21 launches a community, education, and research space in Belgrade to support creatives and entrepreneurs wanting to lead the charge in Bitcoin innovation

  • Announcing the launch of a new non-profit association, HUB21, in Belgrade dedicated to education and training for the general public, research, and opening up networking opportunities to professionals in the global Bitcoin design and development ecosystem.
  • Serbia is a hotbed of IT talent but bitcoin companies and the general public’s understanding of the technological transformation currently engulfing the world is lacking.
  • Belgrade has historically always been the cultural and innovation capital in the Balkan peninsula. Its eclectic and alternative art subculture is bound to attract foreign professionals, investors and creative minds, as it did in the past. We need to train budding programmers, artists, designers and entrepreneurs to capitalize on this oncoming wave of interest and to cultivate our own local entrepreneurs to embrace perhaps the biggest digital revolution since the advent of the internet.  

Belgrade, [11/23/2023] – Belgrade and Serbia at large has recently seen a boom in the IT sector with many large international corporations opening up offices in the capital city, providing employment opportunities to thousands of its residents. One notable exception to this tech boom is a lack of bitcoin projects or companies that are based in Serbia. Bitcoin is a transformational technological revolution with immense potential to change the way global and interpersonal financial transactions are settled. Bitcoin’s decentralized nature and regularly audited accuracy and validity by the global network remove the need for trust in third parties in order to participate. However, this totally alternative approach to securing and using one’s financial goods can be a barrier for entry to individuals and companies alike.

HUB21, a new non-profit association, wants to remove this barrier and it has officially opened its doors in Belgrade. Our core mission is to provide education and training for the general public, and to conduct research, and open up networking opportunities to budding professionals in the global Bitcoin design and development ecosystem. We create educational and online content in the native Serbian language and organize regularly scheduled meetups, presentations, educational workshops and seminars. As the community grows, our long-term plan envisions a future where local Serbian producers, artists, content creators and entrepreneurs from all walks of life can embrace these new decentralized technologies to compete in a global marketplace to expand their opportunities and grow.  Following in the footsteps of numerous similar efforts around the world, HUB21 is excited to place Serbia on the world map of decentralized technology innovation spaces. Its presence is surely to attract many industry leaders from around the globe to engage with the local community and provide opportunities for young talent to participate in this exciting emerging tech sector.  

HUB21 embraces a blend of professionalism and creative chaos and their guiding principle and goal is to inspire, let ideas flow freely and collaborate on sparking new ventures in this emerging industry. Whether you’re an expert or a novice in the Bitcoin realm, HUB21 is the place where you can find your niche and grow.

The support from innovative startups – Primal.net, alongside PeakShift, has played an instrumental role in realizing the vision. Their support underscores our commitment to driving innovation and growth in the digital and Bitcoin sectors. HUB21’s website is now live, offering a portal to the diverse range of upcoming events.
