New opportunity for gathering and exchange of experience
After two successful editions, the Cross Border Coworking Conference is back in 2023! From Monday, October 9th until Wednesday, October 11th 2023, regional and world experts will be gathering in Nikšić. They will- through series of inspirational lectures, workshops and panel discussions, talk about digital nomads, current topics and the potential of this region for attracting this target group. The conference will tackle some very important topics such as the burnout syndrome, time management, personal branding, remote working and inclusion into local community.
The conference will be organized for the third time by INTERA Technology Park (Mostar, BiH) and Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center Tehnopolis (Nikšić, Montenegro), this year also with the co-organization of the National Tourism Organization of Montenegro.
The Cross Border Coworking Conference is co-financed by the European Union and the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany through the Covid-19 Investment Response/EU4BusinessRecovery project. The project is implemented by GIZ BiH with the aim of mitigating the economic consequences caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This project contributes, among other things, to strengthening the capacity of tourist operators, developing sustainable tourism and branding Bosnia and Herzegovina as a destination for digital nomads.
