We are not starting from scratch, but continuing our joint work by piloting innovation support instruments, innovation and energy transition networks in industry, DIHs (Digital Innovation Hubs), product and process development centers, and others. After testing and ensuring the functionality of such instruments, we will work on their integration into appropriate policies that facilitate wider use and application, as has already been done with the instruments we have developed (e.g. the CREDO Development Fund, which has been successfully transformed and is in growing use as the Support Program for the development of the economy, improving efficiency and introducing new technologies by the Ministry of Economy and Entrepreneurship of the Republic of Srpska). In addition, one of the focuses of our engagement will be on designing, piloting, and developing new models and practices of human resources management, based on distributed leadership, towards achieving the already defined vision of SME development in BiH: that by 2030, entrepreneurship and career in SMEs for young people and professionals become more attractive than working in the public sector or going abroad.
