A solid ecosystem supporting teams and their potential to leverage

Lazar Jovanovic, CEO of Smart Watering Solutions, a startup selected in the 2nd OC – AgriTech, shares his experience participating in the Growth Programme:

“X2.0 made a huge impact on our overseas operations and fundraising! We opened 2 new markets, met more than 70 potential partners, and worked with highly skilled Impact Builders who helped us raise funds during the programme.” 

With the aim of providing a service that better suits each startup, X2.0 has developed its own methodology that matches startups with its Impact Builders, dedicated service providers. Currently, 265 individuals and companies have expressed interest, and 208 are already integrated into the X2.0 ecosystem, ready to contribute their services to selected startups. 

From the total Impact Builders, 56.60% are from widening countries aligning with the X2.0 mission of ensuring equal opportunities for development, providing opportunities, and boosting local economies.
