FIPA representatives attended the 11th Economic Forum in Žepče

As a result of many years of successful cooperation between FIPA and the Development Agency of Žepče (RAŽ), representatives of the Agency attended the 11th Business Forum of the Municipality of Žepče entitled "Be IN, innovate, invest, internationalize", organized by the Development Agency of Žepče and under the auspices of the Municipality and the project "Local Economic Development in Bosnia and Herzegovina" financed by the Government of Switzerland. 

This year's forum is dedicated to small businesses and their development through innovation, attracting investments and opening up to international business, which was discussed during two panel discussions: "Innovation in small business (un)realistic development perspective" and "Export as an opportunity for growth".

It is the most important business event that seeks to connect the public and private sectors and promote entrepreneurship with a focus on how small businesses, despite limited resources, can use innovation to improve their competitiveness and growth.

The main message of this year's forum is the increasing need for tax incentives and financing programs for companies that invest in research and development, greater availability of risk capital, and stronger cooperation with universities, which ultimately provides entrepreneurs with the necessary funds and expertise to develop innovative solutions.
