BioEridan Documentary Premiere
BioEridan: Science Beneath the Surface premiered in Belgrade on September 15 before being screened the following day at a UK-Serbia Health, Digital Transformation & Innovation roundtable held at Christ’s College, University of Cambridge, as part of Cambridge Tech Week 2026.
The roundtable brought together prominent representatives from the UK and Serbia across science, healthcare, technology, academia and business to discuss opportunities for collaboration, innovation and the commercialisation of scientific research.
The documentary follows BioEridan’s development from an early scientific project in Serbia to the creation of underwater Aquafarms designed to support biotechnology research. Located approximately 13 metres beneath the sea, the Aquafarms use controlled hydroponic systems to cultivate plants in a highly controlled environment for biotechnology research.
At the heart of BioEridan’s mission is the pursuit of new approaches to longevity and healthy ageing, including research related to telomeres — protective structures at the ends of chromosomes that play an important role in cellular ageing. BioEridan is working on the production of a bioactive ingredient that it aims to develop for use in future longevity-focused products.
Dr Jelena Milovanović, Founder and CEO of BioEridan, said: “BioEridan was founded on the belief that transformative science can come from anywhere. This documentary tells the story of our journey and explores whether some of the next breakthroughs in longevity science may already exist in nature, waiting to be discovered. From Serbia, we want to build a new model for biotechnology that is ambitious in its science, responsible in its use of nature and capable of improving lives around the world.”
The screening at Christ’s College formed part of BioEridan’s participation in the UK-Serbia Health, Digital Transformation & Innovation Forum on September 16. The event provided an opportunity to present BioEridan’s research and technology to an international audience and to explore potential partnerships connecting Serbian scientific and entrepreneurial talent with the UK’s world-leading research and innovation ecosystem.
BioEridan is supported by TS Ventures Fund, the first corporate venture capital fund established in this part of Europe. Founded in 2021, the €25 million fund invests in technology and business solutions across Serbia and international markets, with areas of focus including life sciences, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, fintech and software.
Davor Sakač, CEO of TS Ventures Fund, said: “BioEridan demonstrates the depth of scientific talent and entrepreneurial ambition emerging from Serbia. Its journey from Belgrade to Cambridge shows how a promising scientific idea can develop into a venture with international ambitions. The launch of this documentary and BioEridan’s participation in Cambridge Tech Week bring its story and technology to a wider global audience, while reflecting TS Ventures Fund’s role in helping promising companies develop, scale and build connections with leading innovation ecosystems.”
The documentary’s launch marks another milestone in BioEridan’s development as it expands its research capacity and international profile, with the ambition of establishing Serbia as a recognised contributor to biotechnology and longevity science.

FuzeBox AI Named Founding Co-Author of SPUR Coalition Technical Committee on Verifying AI Content Use5.10.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press release
A new technical committee will define how publishers can independently confirm AI companies' reports of content use. FuzeBox AI has been named by the SPUR Coalition, an international nonprofit of 37 news and media organizations, as one of four founding co-authors of its Evidence Profile Technical Committee, adopted Sept. 2, 2026, to draft an evidence profile for SPUR's Content Telemetry standard: a way for publishers to verify AI usage reports without depending on the reporting company's cooperation. Under SPUR's current standard, AI companies self-report their content use. A company that skips reporting leaves no record, and publishers can't check what they do receive. On July 10, 2026, FuzeBox proposed its Verified Provenance Telemetry Standard (VPTS): publishers seed content with detectable markers, then verify their appearance in AI outputs via an auditable ledger, with no change to SPUR's standard. Within 48 hours, three organizations filed related proposals: ProRata on usage magn
