About the association
The association started its work in early 2016 as an informal platform for the exchange of information and for networking of businesswomen from Bosnia and Herzegovina who live and work in Austria. After a little over a year we have decided to formalize our work and the group of exceptional women.
The association “Business Women of Bosnia and Herzegovina” was officially registered in September 2017. The association’s vision is to promote female entrepreneurs in Austria and B&H and to strengthen their economic and social position. We attach particular importance to the development and growth of our entrepreneurs and members. The main work of the association consists of supporting our members by promoting their companies and business ideas, various presentation series, workshops and lectures – simply by connecting at all levels. In addition, we want to promote women’s business both in Austria and in Bosnia and Herzegovina through partnerships with other organizations and entrepreneurs.
