Successful implementation of the DIGIMET project: Digital Transformation and Innovation in Small and Medium Enterprises
 

The DIGIMET project, part of the broader project “Innovation and Digitalization of Small and Medium Enterprises in BiH/EU4DigitalSME,” co-financed by the European Union and the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany, and implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), has been successfully carried out with the aim of developing the economy in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with a particular focus on digital transformation.

The project consortium, consisting of the University of Mostar – Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Computing and Electrical Engineering, INTERA Technology Park Mostar, and the Innovation Center of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Belgrade, achieved significant results through a series of activities and workshops.

Project Results

Through the DIGIMET project, four companies (SIK d.o.o. Mostar, EMERUS d.o.o. Široki Brijeg, NOVIS d.o.o. Mostar, ALLUX d.o.o. Mostar) received assistance in implementing digital solutions into their business operations. A study visit was organized for companies and project partners from Herzegovina to the Innovation Center of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Belgrade and several local companies. During the project, four workshops were held, focusing on the application of digital technologies in the operations of small and medium enterprises. Finally, a delegation from companies in the Republic of Serbia visited Herzegovina, where a series of bilateral B2B meetings were held with local companies from the region.

The activities of the DIGIMET project concluded on July 11, 2024, with a gathering at Code Hub in Mostar for all partners and representatives of local companies. This final event provided an opportunity to reflect on the achieved results, exchange experiences, discuss future projects, and further network among participants.
