About
The Pupin Initiative is the hub for bolstering US-Serbia ties, doing so through collaborative and non-partisan efforts and policies.
Our initiative was established with the same values that renowned Serbian-American scientist and inventor Mihajlo (Michael) Pupin espoused over 100 years ago. We bring together young entrepreneurs, cross-field experts, and value creators from both the United States and Serbia, focus on creating impactful networks through a bottom-up approach, and provide an authentic understanding of local contexts.
We are privately funded to ensure commitment and efficiency, and to surpass any bureaucratic shortcomings.
