The Foreign Trade Chamber of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as coordinator of the BITNET consortium of the Enterprise Europe Network in Bosnia and Herzegovina, is organising the Enterprise Europe Network Regional Conference in a hybrid format (onsite and online), entitled “From Support to Success: Inspiring Stories of Women Entrepreneurs from the Region and Beyond”. The conference will take place on Wednesday, 28 October 2026, at Hotel Hills, Ilidža, Sarajevo, with participant registration starting at 09:30.
The conference will bring together representatives of European institutions and the Enterprise Europe Network, as well as business organisations, project partners and successful women entrepreneurs from Bosnia and Herzegovina and countries across the region.
The conference aims to present European support instruments and initiatives available to women entrepreneurs in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the region to support internationalisation, innovation, digitalisation and the introduction of new business models.
The conference will focus on concrete success stories of women entrepreneurs from the region who, with support from the Enterprise Europe Network and European projects, have internationalised and improved their businesses by finding new partners or developing their business processes, products and services. One of the conference panels will showcase examples of the successful integration of circular economy principles into the business models of companies in which women entrepreneurs from Bosnia and Herzegovina play a key role.
The conference will also include a dedicated business networking session. With the assistance of Enterprise Europe Network advisors from the region, participants will have an opportunity to present their ambitions for international business expansion and potentially connect with prospective business partners across the region.
We invite women entrepreneurs from Bosnia and Herzegovina, company representatives, business organisations and other interested participants to join us and take this opportunity to:
- learn about European programmes and support instruments;
- exchange experiences with successful women entrepreneurs from the region;
- present their own businesses;
- establish new business contacts;
- share experiences in the field of the circular economy.
