International Burch University Hosts Forum on Domestic Production: 'Sustainable. Innovative. Local – in BiH'

International Burch University recently had the privilege of hosting a highly engaging Forum on Domestic Production, centred around the theme 'Sustainable. Innovative. Local – in BiH'. The event brought together a diverse group of experts, activists, and representatives of local initiatives to deliberate on the future of domestic production, green transition, and sustainable development within Bosnia and Herzegovina.

We extend our sincere gratitude to all panellists for their inspiring discussions and invaluable insights shared across two thematic sessions:

Panel I – The Green Mission of Civil Society

  • Lejla Arapović – AIESEC

  • Emina Pašanović – Sustainability Consultant

  • Vilma Tunjić Juzbašić – Mozaik Foundation

  • Dunja Jalimam – Institute for Youth Development KULT

  • Adem Lisičić – Nešto Više Citizens' Association

Panel II – Green Business, a Local Story

  • Ines Amitović – ProCredit Bank

  • Edi Džidić – Brand Manager

  • Berina Borović – Digital Bee

  • Emir Salkić – Tochak

  • Hana Erović Bašić – Vicero

Our heartfelt thanks also go to our sponsors, Ministry of Ćejf, Lejla – Voda Ljubavi, and Baklava Dućan, whose generous contributions and products significantly enhanced the forum's atmosphere.

We are immensely grateful to Assistant and Coordinator Jasna Imamović from the Department of Economics and Finance, and Assistant Naida Misimović Čustović from the Department of Management, for their invaluable support and mentorship throughout the organisation of this event.

Furthermore, we wish to thank the presidents of the student clubs, Amina Tokalija and Lejla Siručić (Burch Economica Club), and Lejla Torlo and Tajra-Alina Gušo (Business Development Club), as well as the entire organising team and our dedicated volunteers.

The forum unequivocally demonstrated the vital importance of fostering dialogue, collaboration, and the promotion of local and sustainable initiatives within Bosnia and Herzegovina.
