Horizons of Innovation 2026
Forum Partner | Research-to-Impact Excellence
BioSense Institute, Research and Development Institute for IT in Biosystems, is a pioneer of digital transformation founded in 2015.
Integrating fields from micro/nano electronics and sensor design to remote sensing, IoT, and artificial intelligence, BioSense has become a leading centre of scientific excellence — described by the European Commission as "the scientific lighthouse in the region."
Its work spans nearly 80 national and international projects, earning numerous awards along the way. As a Forum Partner of Horizons of Innovation 2026, BioSense Institute brings this track record of scientific excellence and innovation to the Forum's mission of connecting research and impact across the Western Balkans and Europe.
Forum Partner | International Research & Innovation
Neapolis University Pafos (Cyprus) is a modern European university with a strong international outlook, bringing together education, research and innovation in a dynamic academic environment.
Committed to excellence in research, knowledge transfer and international cooperation, NUP actively contributes to European research and innovation initiatives while building strong links between academia, industry and society.
Its international perspective and collaborative approach further strengthen the Horizons of Innovation community, supporting new partnerships and research collaboration across Southeast Europe and beyond.
Forum Partner | Knowledge Transfer & Exchange
Connecting academic expertise with business needs, supporting research collaboration, protecting intellectual property and helping inventions reach practical use.
Knowledge transfer creates value in both directions: research opens new possibilities for companies, while practical challenges bring fresh questions and perspectives to researchers.
At Horizons of Innovation 2026, this partnership strengthens the connections through which knowledge is shared, developed and applied across borders. Each new connection is an opportunity to build on what we know and discover what becomes possible together.
Forum Partner | European Partnerships
The Interreg IPA CBC Croatia - Bosnia and Herzegovina - Montenegro Programme supports joint projects that connect organisations across three countries, helping them address shared challenges and create lasting impact.
With more than €107 million in EU and IPA III funding, the Programme invests in research and innovation, environmental resilience, health services, sustainable tourism and cultural heritage, strengthening cooperation where it matters most.
By bringing partners together across borders, it contributes to a greener, smarter and more connected Europe.
Forum Partner | Nature & Climate Resilience
Vojvodinašume brings to Horizons of Innovation 2026 the perspective that matters when climate and nature ambitions meet reality - implementation on the ground.
With extensive experience in managing forests, ecosystems and environmental risks, the organisation works where long-term resilience depends on turning knowledge, plans and investments into lasting operational capacity.
As Forum Partner, Vojvodinašume will host the Green Leaders Table, opening a focused regional dialogue on how shared challenges can become joint action for nature and climate resilience across borders.
HoI Research Community Partner Network
The network brings together Serbian Researchers, the Association for the Advancement of Science and Technology in Bosnia and Herzegovina (ANNT) and Montenegrin Science & Technology epiSTEMe Hub.
These researcher-led organisations connect scientific communities in their countries and abroad, promote knowledge exchange and increase the visibility of researchers and their work.
As HoI Research Community Partners, they strengthen regional research connections and create new opportunities for collaboration across borders, institutions and disciplines.
