STARTUP ECOSYSTEM
BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

The startup ecosystem in Bosnia and Herzegovina is still in its early stages — emerging and evolving.
But there are clear signs that momentum is building and the foundations for long-term growth are taking shape:

Global attention is arriving — the launch of Techstars Sarajevo has brought international visibility to the ecosystem and opened new opportunities for scalable ventures, mentorship, and follow-on funding

Early-stage capital is starting to flow — around €3 million is invested annually in early-stage startups, with that number gradually increasing as investor engagement and founder readiness improve

Support infrastructure is taking root — organizations like Foundation 787, INTERA TP, Mozaik, and others are actively supporting founder education, visibility, and access to resources

Cross-border collaboration is gaining ground — BHBAN members and local founders are co-investing with peers across the Western Balkans, with Slovenia, Serbia, and North Macedonia being the most active partners to date

Events with real traction — among several emerging gatherings, the Business Angel Summit and upcoming Slush’D Sarajevo 2025 stand out, helping position the city as a visible hub for early-stage innovation

Startups are aiming beyond local markets — more teams are building for regional and European scale from day one, with growing ambition and clearer product-market strategies

BHBAN is actively contributing to this momentum — connecting private capital with emerging innovation, and supporting a stronger,

more investor-ready startup environment in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

 

To help investors and ecosystem actors better understand the landscape,

Foundation 787 has developed a Startup Ecosystem Map highlighting key stakeholders.
