Presentation of Business Opportunities in Bosnia and Herzegovina: business environment, investments, opportunities for new business
Jable Castle, Loka pri Mengšu – Thursday, December 11, 2025
You are invited to a presentation of opportunities for investment, trade cooperation, and partnerships in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). The event will bring together craftsmen, entrepreneurs, investors, economic institutions, and decision-makers from Slovenia and BiH in one place. It will allow participants to learn about the current business environment in BiH, identify promising investment projects, and establish new contacts at bilateral B2B meetings.
Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina are long-standing economic partners – trade between the two countries reached 1.732 billion EUR in 2024, placing BiH among Slovenia’s 15 most important trading partners. While BiH remains a transition economy with distinct structural challenges, such as heavy dependence on imports, it also offers numerous business opportunities in the fields of agriculture, energy, IT, and construction. For Slovenian companies, BiH is attractive due to its proximity, cultural ties, and openness to foreign investment.
