During the meeting, discussions focused on the numerous trade fairs held in Türkiye, particularly in Istanbul and Bursa, which provide opportunities for companies from Bosnia and Herzegovina and project promoters to present themselves to Turkish investors and companies. In turn, FIPA would showcase Bosnia and Herzegovina’s investment potential, projects, and available investment locations at these events.

The Consul General will keep FIPA informed in a timely manner about important investment meetings and trade fairs in Istanbul and across Türkiye, and will propose joint participation, particularly at fairs in Bursa, where Bosnia and Herzegovina’s investment potential could be further promoted.

Given the Consulate General’s strong network of contacts with businesspeople and chambers of commerce in Istanbul and across Türkiye, both sides agreed to work jointly to attract Turkish investors to Bosnia and Herzegovina and to connect them with project promoters through meetings, networking activities, forums, summits, and trade fairs.

There are a large number of companies in Türkiye founded by people of Bosnian origin, which are willing to cooperate and further strengthen business ties between the two countries.

FIPA emphasized its readiness to continue activities aimed at promoting investment opportunities and advantages of investing in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as presenting specific investment projects and locations to Turkish companies.
