Step Forward: Grant Readiness for Serbian Entrepreneurs with Casa Forte is a program designed to empower Serbian entrepreneurs—including MSMEs—by providing practical tools and knowledge to access non-repayable funding under the de minimis regulation. Through interactive workshops, it strengthens business capacity, fosters innovation, and promotes sustainable growth, while also advancing U.S.-Serbia economic cooperation and regional stability. By equipping participants with essential skills in grant writing and strategic planning, the program helps build a resilient entrepreneurial ecosystem that supports local success, reduces brain drain, and contributes to broader democratic and economic development goals.
