β€‹πŸ’Ž Diplomatic Capital: Hidden Gems from Bosnia & Herzegovina

​Discover the next generation of European innovation in the heart of London's diplomatic quarter


​The Ambassador to the United Kingdom of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in conjunction with Diplomatic Capital and NSaRC, invites you to an exclusive evening of investment opportunity and diplomatic excellence.

β€‹πŸš€ Why This Event Will Change Your Portfolio

​While London's investors chase the same overvalued deals, a new generation of European entrepreneurs is building world-class companies in untapped markets. This November, we're bringing 5 exceptional startups from Bosnia & Herzegovina directly to London's most sophisticated investors.

​You probably won't find these companies on TechCrunch. They're globally ambitious businesses that have been quietly solving real problems in one of Europe's most overlooked innovation hubs.

β€‹πŸŽ― What Makes This Different

  • ​Embassy-Curated Deal Flow: Each company has been personally vetted by diplomatic and business leaders

  • ​Geographic Arbitrage: Early access to exceptional talent and innovation at pre-London valuations

  • ​EIS-Eligible Opportunities: We will discuss UK tax-efficient investment structures

  • ​Direct Founder Access: No intermediaries, no pitch decks, just real conversations with real entrepreneurs

  • ​Untapped Market Intelligence: Insights into the fastest-growing tech ecosystem you've never heard of

β€‹πŸ’¬ Ambassador's Perspective

​"Bosnia and Herzegovina has produced some of Europe's most innovative minds, and our tech sector represents one of the continent's best-kept investment secrets. These companies combine Silicon Valley ambition with European values and emerging market efficiency. I'm proud to open our Embassy doors to showcase these exceptional entrepreneurs to London's investment community."

​- His Excellency, Osman TopčagiΔ‡, Ambassador of Bosnia and Herzegovina to the United Kingdom
