“Taking into account the composition of the delegation of American representatives, this event is a great opportunity for all companies from the region, including those from Bosnia and Herzegovina, to establish new contacts and possible business cooperation with companies from the USA that have expressed great interest in our region,” FTC BiH pointed out.
The conference program foresees two working panels on the IT industry and energy, after which B2B meetings will be held between American and Western Balkan companies.
