On May 2025, NCC Montenegro and the University of Donja Gorica welcomed Igor Mitrić, founder and CEO of the Montenegrin startup HRUPTY, for an initial consultation on potential collaborations in the field of high-performance computing (HPC). HRUPTY is recognized as an innovation-driven company registered under the Ministry of Science and Innovation and is focused on developing cutting-edge AR/VR tools for a wide range of industries including real estate, tourism, art, education, and industrial training.
During the meeting, Mr. Mitrić presented the company’s suite of digital 3D products—such as VirtuSale, VirtuTrainPro, and VirtuEdu—that are already being deployed in global projects with partners from Europe, North America, and Asia. These platforms combine immersive virtual experiences with artificial intelligence to revolutionize how users interact with real-world scenarios in virtual environments.
The discussion with NCC Montenegro representatives—Dejan Babić, Ivan Jovović, and Tomo Popović—focused on identifying where HPC resources could support HRUPTY’s innovation roadmap, especially in areas requiring large-scale rendering, simulation, and AI model training. As part of the session, HRUPTY also completed the HPC4SME self-assessment to better understand its HPC readiness and potential for adopting advanced computing technologies. This visit marks the beginning of what we hope will become a fruitful collaboration between the startup and the national HPC competence center.
