We aim to enable people in the Western Balkans to succeed. To create new, better paid jobs for young and/or experienced people. To activate entrepreneurship and generate an innovative business atmosphere.
We provide training in advanced technologies like automation and robotics, and we help professionalize skills. We qualify young companies for internationalization and support startups to scale up fast.
FITT strives to contribute to overcoming the main challenges in the areas of:
Priority 1 – A Smarter Mediterranean
Specific objective 1.1: Developing and enhancing research and innovation capacities and the uptake of advanced technologies

FITT brings expertise and experiences gained from its participation in various projects. We have actively contributed as project partner to the Interreg Danube Peer Chains project, which focused on increasing competencies for business and social innovation.
At the moment, FITT is a project partner on three Interreg Danube Region projects:
– DECORATOR (Danubians Cradle-to-Cradle Architecture and construction processes)

Furthermore, we have successfully accomplished many local digitalization and robotics projects.

would like to briefly introduce CEEO (Center for Energy, Energy Efficiency and Environment), a Bosnia and Herzegovina-based NGO and expert organization working on energy efficiency, renewable energy, climate change, environmental protection and sustainable development.

We are currently implementing an Interreg Danube project and have previous experience with Interreg MED projects, including the implementation of an Interreg MED project in 2022. We are also currently implementing a circular economy project supported by the UNDP–Czech Challenge Fund, giving us relevant practical experience in this field.

In addition, CEEO has experience in urban planning and nature-based solutions through our previous URWAN project, which we see as particularly relevant to the “Greening living areas” topic.

Our team has extensive experience in developing EU project applications and in the implementation and management of EU-funded projects.

If you are planning to apply under the upcoming Interreg MED call and are building a consortium, we would be very interested in joining. We believe CEEO could bring relevant expertise and practical experience to the partnership, and we would be happy to discuss potential areas of cooperation.

Please let me know if you are considering an application, and we would be happy to have a short call. You can write me on. emina.mravovic@ceeo.ba
