They do not measure their success by the achieved profit, but by the achieved benefit for the social community, to which we ourselves belong. For them, the success is the realization of their clients' projects, the survival of their start-up companies, those who found work thanks to their support, the success of their clients in foreign markets.

The headquarters of the Development Fund is in Nis, while the branch is located in Belgrade. The Fund may have branches in other cities, as decided by the Board of Directors.
