Short description

The BOOST2 project is a continuation of the successfully implemented BOOST project, and its goal is to enhance the innovation capacities and competitiveness of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in Bosnia and Herzegovina by strengthening cooperation between the private sector (service users) and the academic community, the non-governmental sector, development agencies, and DIHs. The project will contribute to a higher level of innovation and improved products and services of MSMEs, as well as strengthened capacities of business service providers through the development of new services and the exchange of knowledge with the economy. 

The key instrument of the BOOST2 project is the Innovation Voucher Scheme (IVS), established with the goal of supporting at least 100 micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises. IVS enables SMEs to access business, innovation, and legal services, with a particular focus on technological innovation, intellectual property, and digital and green transformation. Project activities include the preparation and implementation of the voucher program through direct collaboration between SMEs and business service providers, while conferences and informational materials will further raise awareness among the public and key stakeholders about the importance of collaboration between these sectors.
