Open Conference ‘Digitalization in the Green Economy’ at INTERA Technology Park

Today, the scientific and professional conference “Digitalization in the Green Economy” was officially opened at INTERA Technology Park. The conference gathered numerous experts, researchers, and representatives of the academic community. 

The conference was opened by Marko Antonio Brkić, Assistant to the Minister at the Federal Ministry of Education and Science, who conveyed greetings on behalf of the Minister and expressed support for all participants. 

In his opening remarks, Brkić emphasized the importance of the contribution of the scientific and research sector to the development of society and called on those present to meet the expectations placed before them. 
 
“We want to show that we care and that we have great expectations from the scientific and research sector,” said Brkić. He thanked the hosts for organizing the event and expressed his belief that the results of the conference would be of great benefit for the further development of digitalization in Bosnia and Herzegovina. 

All participants were also greeted by Vedran Šimunović, Executive Director of INTERA Technology Park, who emphasized that this is already the fourth conference organized by INTERA in cooperation with the Federal Ministry of Education and Science and took the opportunity to thank the Ministry for its continuous support. 

“I do not see Bosnia and Herzegovina’s lag in the field of digitalization as a weakness, but rather as an opportunity — we have the chance to skip certain stages of development, learn from the experiences and mistakes of others, and thus progress more quickly. This conference is one of those opportunities. The previous three collections of papers resulted in outstanding scientific and professional contributions, which have been transformed into concrete business examples and solutions. I believe that today’s gathering will also bring valuable knowledge, and that the collection of papers from this conference will have an even stronger impact — for the benefit of the entire Bosnia and Herzegovina,” emphasized Vedran Šimunović. 

The conference is organized by INTERA Technology Park with the support of the Federal Ministry of Education and Science. It serves as an important platform for the exchange of knowledge, the presentation of innovative solutions, and the strengthening of cooperation between the business and academic sectors. The focus of the event is on the role of digital technologies in the transition to sustainable economic models and the reduction of environmental footprints. 

Throughout the day, participants will have the opportunity to attend a series of interesting lectures and panel discussions on topics such as smart industry, energy efficiency, digital tools for sustainable resource management, and education in the context of the green and digital transition. 

At a time when digital transformation and the green economy are emerging as key directions for development, this event once again highlights the importance of connecting these fields and jointly reflecting on the future.
