The Academy of Youth Entrepreneurship (AOP) is a project created for young people who want to start, create or improve their business or idea, and want to learn from the best. It is a completely free educational program within which selected young people work on their development
entrepreneurial ideas and business plan. The project has been implemented for two years and preparations are underway for the third generation of the project.

The established alumni network numbers 40 young entrepreneurs, and a model is currently being developed according to which other young entrepreneurs would be accepted into the network in order to further strengthen and enrich it.

In the long run, the Academy is planned as a regular one-year educational program for entrepreneurs, after which students would receive certificates, and it would be a resource center for all young people interested in the topic of entrepreneurship. The first two generations of the project were supported by the RS Ministry of Youth and Sports, the Embassies of Denmark and Israel, as well as numerous domestic and foreign companies.
