10th International Cooperation Forum

This annual event is focused on the region of South East Europe and we're excited to bring together leaders, innovators, and experts from the Region and EU for a day of inspiring keynote talks, panel discussions, and networking opportunities.

The Forum is organized by Development Agency of Serbia and Development Agency of the Republic of Srpska with a support of several partners from the Region and EU.

This year's event will be packed with experts and professionals who will share their insights and knowledge on innovation, green economy, digital transformation, decarbonization, AI, but also some challenges that SMEs are facing and solutions how to overcome that.

The event is a great opportunity to explore new projects, find partners and collaborate with others in your field or industry. Participants can meet potential partners, collaborators, or even competitors and share ideas and insights.

Participation is free of charge and registration is open until October 27th, 2025.

What to expect?

On its jubilee, the Forum will bring together companies from the Western Balkans Region and EU, representatives of state institutions, international organizations, chambers of commerce, development agencies, science and technology institutions as well as other organizations that are supporting SMEs, in order to exchange their experience, promote products and services, and to establish new business contacts and acquire potential partners.

In the panels, two very current topics will be addressed - the path to decarbonization through digital-technological adaptations, and artificial intelligence as a driver of competitiveness and innovation in the economy. Both topics will be discussed from the perspective of institutions and from the perspective of companies that encounter these issues in their daily business and already have experience with them.

In the second part of the day, companies are offered a unique opportunity to participate in B2B meetings with companies from the region, as well as with representatives of institutions and other stakeholders.

B2B Matchmaking event is set for 29.10.2025. at 14h.

Participation at b2b meetings is free of charge.
