Potential investors, members of ABSL in Bosnia and Herzegovina and other ABSL locations (Poland, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Romania and Latvia), international organizations and employers were introduced to numerous opportunities found within the local market in the form of companies, services, resources and competencies.

Our country’s potential in terms of talent, expertise and market advantages was highlighted throughout the report, with special focus on successful BiH companies within the industry.
