The Representative Office of Republika Srpska in Austria, together with WIFI International (a department of the Chamber of Commerce) in Vienna, the Innovation Centre Banja Luka, the Chamber of Commerce, the Development Agency of Republika Srpska, and the cities of Doboj and Istočno Sarajevo, called on interested companies from the metal- and wood-processing sectors to apply for Fit4Austria.
The matchmaking is aimed at managers and company representatives interested in professional cooperation with Austrian companies in areas such as export, import, agency and joint ventures.
This time the initiative was organised in two regions — Istočno Sarajevo and Doboj — continuing on from a successful first phase with companies from Banja Luka and Bijeljina. Selected companies completed preparatory training covering “International brand marketing, strategic planning and risk management” and “Business communication and negotiation in international cooperation”.
Participants who earned a WIFI certificate were given the opportunity to join a study trip to Austria with organised business meetings at Austrian companies.
The application deadline at the time (17 September 2023) has since passed.
