You're in the right place.
For 25 years we have been the bridge between business ideas and markets that know no borders. A foreign investor does not deal with institutions — they deal with us, primarily in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but in other countries as well.
What we do
Everything else we offer — translation into almost any language, marketing, training, recruitment — falls under one of these three.
01
For companies entering a new market
Foreign investors entering Bosnia and Herzegovina, local firms entering the EU. We handle the paperwork, registration, legal and tax framework, market analysis and negotiations — the client never has to deal with institutions.
02
For investors with a concrete project
From idea to delivery. You have an idea but do not know whether it is competitive and profitable? We will find out.
03
For producers looking for buyers in the West
A subscription service: our network of agents, chambers of commerce and trade fairs across the EU and the USA looks for buyers for your product. You follow every step on your own page inside the portal — contacts, offers, contracts, correspondence.
Diaspora Index
