Construction of New Building of STP Cacak to Begin in Spring

(The future look of the planned facility) The construction of the new building of the Science-Technology Park in Cacak, in the location of the former Cer factory, will begin in spring, announced Mayor Milun Todorovic.

According to him, the new block will spread on 12,000 square meters, and new tenants are expected to move in in a year and a half.

– Eight years ago, we started off very modestly, in the Komunalac premises in Nikole Tesle Street, and then when the library got its building, the old space was turned into a startup center. We then went a step further and started the reconstruction of the space at the former Cer factory of around 6,000 square meters, which cost the state around EUR 4.5 million. Our STP is one of the four in Serbia, in addition to Belgrade, Novi Sad and Nis, to enter the program for the construction of a new facility. We secured land next to the existing STP, prepared the project-technical documentation, and now EUR 22 million will be invested in the facility and the equipment, which is very expensive. We are a regional STP and we have around 50 tenants, and we expect the increase of the capacities to enable young people to stay here and innovate – Todorovic pointed out, as reported by the Morava Info portal.

The signing of the agreement with the contractors for the construction of science-technology parks in Cacak, Nis and Krusevac is expected in February, the Ministry of Public Investment said for eKapija.

As they told our portal, the bids have been opened, and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), which published the tender, is currently giving comments on the report.

Let us remind that the tender for the construction and expansion of science-technology parks in Cacak, Krusevac and Nis was opened in September, and the application deadline was November 16, 2023.

In June 2023, the Government of Serbia and the EBRD signed the agreement on the upgrade of the science infrastructure, the construction of new science-technology parks and additional buildings in the existing STPs in the country worth EUR 80 million. The agreement secures EUR 80 million, of which EUR 70 million is meant for the additional construction of science-technology parks (STPs), whereas EUR 10 million is set aside for the BIO 4 campus in Belgrade.
