The Director of the Foreign Investment Promotion Agency of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FIPA), Marko Kubatlija, held a meeting with the Ambassador of the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mohammed Meraimi, to discuss preparations and upcoming activities related to the participation of the Bosnia and Herzegovina business delegation in the 57th Algiers International Fair (FIA 2026), scheduled to be held in Algiers from 22 to 27 June 2026.

The Algiers International Fair is among the most important business events in the region, gathering leading domestic and international companies from various sectors, including industry, energy, agriculture and food production, technology, pharmaceuticals, trade, and services.

Participation in the fair will provide companies from Bosnia and Herzegovina with an excellent opportunity to:

  • Present their products and services to a broader international audience;
  • Establish new business contacts and strategic partnerships;
  • Engage in B2B meetings with potential partners and buyers;
  • Explore export opportunities in new markets; and
  • Gain valuable insights into contemporary trends, innovations, and business practices across a wide range of industries.

In addition to the exhibition activities, the Algerian side intends to organize bilateral meetings between the Bosnia and Herzegovina business delegation and senior officials of key Algerian institutions responsible for investment promotion and foreign trade, including the Director General of the Algerian Investment Promotion Agency, the President of the Algerian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CACI), and the President of the Council for Economic Renewal of Algeria (CREA).

The objective of these meetings is to showcase the investment and business potential of Bosnia and Herzegovina and to further strengthen economic cooperation between the two countries.

According to the organizers, the fair is expected to attract companies from more than 140 countries worldwide, providing an outstanding platform for international business networking, the promotion of products and services, and the establishment of new business partnerships.

Testimonials & Success Stories
 

Global Investment Promotion Best Practices 2012 of the World Bank has cited one example of support that FIPA provides to foreign investors who are running business in Bosnia and Herzegovina in order to contribute to increase the flow of foreign capital in the country.

The article said:  

„The Foreign Investment Promotion Agency (FIPA) of Bosnia and Herzegovina was an early convert to the idea of providing facilitation services to agribusiness investors as a way to maximize the positive impact of agriculture on the economy.

In 2007, for example, FIPA assisted a Dutch food processing company establish a US$1.6 million production facility to process unused milk ingredients into value-added products in Sarajevo to sell to markets in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

As part of its aftercare program, FIPA assisted the company with its expansion plans. Among other things, the agency helped facilitate veterinary permissions, navigate various bureaucratic hurdles and played an important role in securing funding for the company’s expansion. It also helped develop a network of local suppliers and customers. As a result of these efforts, the Dutch investor developed stronger links with the Bosnian economy, thus increasing the positive spillover effects on the local economy.

Currently a new investment to establish a drying facility for milk powder is under way. This will further expand the processing facilities of unused milk ingredients. This additional planned investment is worth approximately US$2.8 million, thus nearly trebling the company’s original investment in the country“.
