Sarajevo, known as a cultural hub and film capital, is increasingly positioning itself as an important regional center for business networking and idea exchange. This time, the focus was on leaders from various industries who gathered at the exclusive Cocktail Networking Nights event organized by the eCommerce Association in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the European Woman Payments Network (EWPN). The event, held with the support of Thing Solver, a member of the ASEE Group, brought together numerous experts from the world of eCommerce, digital payments, artificial intelligence, blockchain technologies, and other innovative industries.
This gathering was not only an opportunity for the exchange of business ideas but also for strengthening regional cooperation in the field of digital economy. The panels featured regional industry experts, including Magda Milas, co-founder and president of Alice in Blockchains, Predrag Topić, head of sales at Thing Solver, Maida Zahirović Salom, co-founder and CEO of Zinga, and Nikola Mehandžić, digital financial services consultant at IFC. They discussed the latest trends and challenges in eCommerce and digital payments, emphasizing the importance of innovation and regional collaboration.
The panel discussion was held in an AMA (Ask Me Anything) format, which allowed for an open, dynamic, and interactive conversation between the audience and the speakers. This format, increasingly used globally due to its flexibility and immediacy, was a refreshing change for the event participants. The audience had the opportunity to ask questions directly to the speakers, ensuring a deeper and richer discussion relevant to the present leaders from various industries.
“The reason why such gatherings are of utmost importance lies in the fact that they allow leaders from different industries to connect, exchange ideas, and work together to create innovative solutions that will advance the regional economy. The conclusions from this event clearly indicate the need for even greater cooperation and networking in the field of digital technologies,” stated the organizers.
A special touch to the event was added by cocktails specially created for this occasion by experts from Dcrisp and the Ice Sarajevo Bartenders Association. Guests enjoyed the specially prepared #commercecooler and #inclusionboost cocktails, which were created specifically for this event and perfectly complemented the business networking atmosphere. The event was also supported by numerous partners who recognized the importance of such initiatives for strengthening regional cooperation and the development of the digital economy.
