One of the signatories, Marin Jozić of the Linnovate Technology Park in Livno, thanked the Ministry for the allocated funds and said it was one of the first projects to receive support in the year and a half since the launch of the Livno Technology Park.
“This is a project aimed at promoting entrepreneurship on one hand and improving the quality of educational content within Linnovate TP on the other. These funds will help us raise our operations to a higher level and get a curriculum that can then be renewed and repeated in a more professional manner,” said Jozić.
