The 25th International Business Fair – Mostar 2024, where more than 800 exhibitors from 30 countries presented, has closed.
This year’s fair, which took place from April 16 to 20, according to the organizers, raised the bar when it comes to the presentation of exhibitors, the organization itself, the layout of the stands and the conference and entertainment part of the event.
“We can freely say that this was the best edition of the fair. According to the reactions of the exhibitors and visitors, we had a fair that would not be ashamed of even larger cities in the region and even in the world. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the organization of both the exhibition and the conference part of the fair and so on. We have firmly positioned the Mostar Fair at the very top of the best fairs in the region,” said the director of the Mostar Fair, Dalfina Bošnjak.
The partner country of the 25th International Economic Fair in Mostar was the Republic of Croatia, which presented itself at the Fair on more than 400 m2 with 43 companies.
The Prime Minister of the Republic of Croatia, Andrej Plenković, in the presence of numerous leaders from the region, declared the fair open. Messages of peace and the need for mutual cooperation between the countries of the region were sent from the podium of the Mostar fair, which were conveyed by around 300 accredited journalists, sending a positive image from Mostar to the whole world.
The exhibitors showed a strong entrepreneurial spirit, which resulted in numerous business deals. Countries that were not previously present in Mostar also showed interest in participating in the fair, and several countries showed interest in being our partner countries, which we will inform the public about when a concrete agreement is reached.
During the fair, several extremely well-attended and significant conferences, forums, expert meetings, workshops and round tables were held, of which we single out the Third Mostar Economic Forum, organized by the FBiH Chamber of Commerce and the Croatian Chamber of Commerce, where the dominant theme was the EU perspective of BiH.
Investments in BiH were discussed at the fair, an agreement was signed on cooperation with FIPA, on the use of European funds, cross-border cooperation, gastronomy, youth employment, digitization, tourism, intellectual property, the IT sector.
Numerous visitors could enjoy a diverse cultural and entertainment program for all ages. Awards were also given to the best wines, as well as awards for the most successful performance at the 25th International Fair of the Economy, Fena news agency writes.
