NBBA board members concluded their tour in Sarajevo, this time accompanied by their fellow Board members Per Kristian Åsen, from the Norwegian company Smed which has operated in Bosnia and Herzegovina for 15 years, and Thomas Holm Knudsen from the Norwegian state-owned investment fund Kirkenes Fondsforvaltning.
They all expressed their eagerness to help establishing business contacts between potential Norwegian investors and BiH companies. Ambassador Olav Reinertsen said that NBBA and BiH companies have in just nine months of the association’s existence managed to prepare several green energy and ICT projects for implementation.
With the further development of the bilateral commercial cooperation, Norway can also contribute to sustainable employment and address brain drain — one of BiH’s biggest current challenges.
