CONNECTO 2024 introduces the keynote speaker of this year’s conference – it will be Petar Pero Desnica, the founder of the German company Ruff Cycles, which has placed the production of its retro electric bicycles inspired by motorcycle design in Travnik

We’re confident that you already know that Mostar will once again be the host of an exceptional event this year. It’s none other than the new edition of the traditional summer gathering of enterprising, positive, and dynamic people from Bosnia and Herzegovina and its diaspora – CONNECTO 2024, which, just like in previous years, will take place at the Europa Hall within the INTERA Technology Park.

The conference part will again be held on the first day, specifically on Tuesday, June 25th, at the Europa Hall of the INTERA Technology Park, followed by B2B meetings, which have also been a trademark of this event for many years – and will last until June 27th, Thursday. Once again, this year, alongside the INTERA Technology Park, the organization of the CONNECTO 2024 event is supported by GIZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit) through the BOOST project, co-financed by the European Union and the German Government through the EU4DigitalSME project, as well as the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN).

It’s all about looking towards a better future and nothing else!

We’ve already introduced you to two panels featuring prominent guests, where two interesting and very current topics will be discussed – the first one is about improving the dialogue between the government and entrepreneurs, focusing on the governments of the three cantons/counties, represented by their leaders at the conference. Additionally, everything accomplished through the implementation of the BOOST project, aimed at supporting the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, successfully implemented by the INTERA Technology Park, will also be presented at the conference.

Furthermore, we’ve previously announced that the organizers rightfully believe that this year’s CONNECTO 2024 will be the biggest, most attended, and highest quality event of its kind so far. To make it happen, the conference program will feature additional interesting guests, giving conference attendees the opportunity to hear firsthand about their experiences and gain valuable insights into the topics that are the essence of CONNECTO – the advancement of the domestic economy and the general transformation of Bosnian-Herzegovinian society towards a better and more efficient future.

A bicycle driving the economy

Therefore, it’s no wonder that this year’s key opening speaker is none other than Petar Pero Desnica, the founder of Ruff Cycles, a company that has established itself as a global brand with its line of luxury electric bicycles, with production located in the heart of Bosnia – in Travnik. Originally conceived and realized in Regensburg, Germany, the Ruff Cycles company produces its own aluminum and metal frames for its highly sophisticated bicycles, inspired by classic motorcycle design, right in the heart of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

So, it can be said that the foundation of these exceptionally well-designed, recognizable, and globally established products came from our country. And the founder of the company and the visionary behind the remarkable electric bicycle project under the Ruff Cycles brand will be the keynote speaker, sharing his story at this year’s edition of CONNECTO 2024.

A story that’s global, yet so local

If you visit CONNECTO 2024, and there’s still time to register at https://bit.ly/PrijavaCONNECTO2024, you’ll have the opportunity to learn firsthand how the idea of ​​Ruff Cycles was born, how the company was founded and grew, how Petar Pero Desnica came up with the idea to establish part of the production right here in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It will be particularly interesting to hear about his experiences with our people, our work and organizational habits, our potentials and possibilities, and to hear his vision for the development of Bosnia and Herzegovina, based on what he has experienced firsthand through the growth and expansion of the Ruff Cycles company.

We expect you’ll also hear about everything that needs to be improved, enhanced, and ensured to become interesting and visible in the world. We hope that this announcement has further piqued your interest and that we can expect to see you at this year’s edition of CONNECTO 2024.
