New Technology-based Firm. Creation :
We refer to the programs and mechanisms implemented by STPs to stimulate the transformation of good ideas and technologies into commercial companies , and in general any action aiming at fostering entrepreneurial spirit, incubation, spin-off programs, etc

Marketing-existing Companies :
We refer to the efforts that STP TEHNIS will make to attract existing companies towards the park, either totally or partially.
A company moving from wherever is located to a STP should obtain competitive advantages by doing so.
If they move to the STP to do exactly the same as they were doing in their previous location, the moving may not be justified.

Sustainability & preferential benefits for technology transfer and innovative investment
I ncentives by the state and the city of Nis (employment subsidies, tax exemptions classified by the technology type priorities etc.)
Stipulation that will be defined only for STP users (space, infrastructure, services)
Free customs zone will be defined in the STP.

The income will be use to subsidize High-Tec companies and NTBF , technology commercialisation and for investment needs of STP TEHNIS.
STP TEHNIS will include Incubator for NTBF
Technical school will be placed in the premises of the STP

The project is managed with two parallel processes:
Continuing of financial and corporate restructuring that includes commercial debt liquidation, sales of surplus of assets not needed for STP TEHNIS, property-legal issues and debt to ownership conversion etc.
This process is managed by the Ministry of economy and regional development. The process will be realized during year 2010.

Low knowledge levels, but high expectations and different interests are present
It is a very risky project
