Bosnia and Herzegovina is experiencing a period of economic activity focused on industrial development, foreign investment, and sustainability. Regional trade fairs, such as the 30th International General BH Fair (ZEPS 2026), have facilitated interest from foreign entities, including Austrian companies looking to invest in the metal, wood, and IT sectors. The defense industry has also seen growth, with revenues for six key companies in the Federation of BiH rising from 270 million KM in 2022 to 554 million KM in 2025. To support local competitiveness, the Zenica-Doboj Canton has allocated 3.6 million KM to 162 enterprises. Parallel to industrial growth, there is an increasing emphasis on the green economy. The 22nd EKOBIS international ecology fair in Bihać Bihać, featuring 218 exhibitors, highlighted the importance of the green transition for local companies to remain competitive within the European market.
