The Foreign Investment Promotion Agency of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FIPA) will, for the second time, be a partner of the “SEE Private Equity and M&A” forum, which will take place in Belgrade on June 2, 2026, bringing together leading regional dealmakers, private equity and venture capital investors, corporate buyers, lenders, advisors, and policymakers.

The forum serves as an annual meeting point in the region for reviewing significant transactions and setting the deal making agenda for the coming year, with dedicated panel discussions covering:

  • Regional trends and market outlook (including recent deal activity and overall market dynamics)
  • Corporate investments and mergers and acquisitions (covering cross-border deals, sector activity, and strategic transactions)
  • The private capital landscape (discussions on deal sourcing and execution, LP engagement, value creation, exits, regional trends, and collaboration)
  • The 2026 agenda will highlight key sectors driving growth and investment opportunities across Southeast Europe, including:
    • TMT consolidation and digital infrastructure carve-outs
    • Healthcare and life sciences platform building
    • Renewable energy and energy transition

Through a combination of panel discussions and networking opportunities, participants will be able to build partnerships across Southeast Europe and the wider CEE region.

Participation at this event provides an opportunity to present concrete investment projects and sectors with the highest growth potential, as well as to exchange information on current trends at the capital markets. FIPA will also actively work on identifying potential investors and partners, with the aim to encourage new investments and support the implementation of investment projects in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

By participating at the forum, FIPA further confirms its role as a key institution for attracting foreign investment and improving the business environment in the country.

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“.
