Our scholar Bojan Bulatović and our ambassador Adela Kadirić hosted another BH Professionals Meetup. This time city host was Cologne and this is how Bojan described us the event:

“What a great experience! On Monday I had an opportunity to represent BH Futures Foundation at networking event in Cologne, together with our ambassador Adela Kadiric. As this was my first event of this kind, I was very excited, but also nervous at the same time. However, what I didn't know was that the Foundation had prepared me for this much better than I thought.

Meeting successful Bosnians and Herzegovinians

Around 50 people came to hear our stories and to network, many of which have important roles in big companies such as Bayer, Deutsche Telekom, Deutsche Welle and others. The whole event was also co-organized with Pangea Netzwerk, with which we signed a partnership memorandum at the event. During the presentation held by Ibrahim Spahic, it could be seen that they share many similar goals and visions with our Foundation. Furthermore, we got to hear the inspiring story from Muamer Babajic, who created the German Center for Robotics in Tuzla, which provides world-class training in industrial robotics.

I was expecting to meet a lot of successful people but had no idea of how the conversations would go. These discussions are what surprised me the most. Besides getting to know each other, I got to hear a lot of great advice and experiences which have taught me a lot about business, the IT world and life in general.

This whole experience has once again reminded me how important is it to get out of my comfort zone. Initiating new social interactions, especially with professionals, has been something I have been struggling with for a rather long time. However, it was something I had to do before, and during the event to make it as good as possible.

I am very thankful to the Foundation for this great opportunity to grow and to meet new amazing people.”

What happens after meetup? Networking of course!
