About us

Kosova Business Forum is the largest business forum in Kosova, which brings together participants who are united by their passion for business and economy and who are driven in becoming change-makers through public-private dialogue and cooperation.

 

KBF was organized for the first time in Prishtina, in January 2024. Within a very comprehensive Program, the major theme of the first year’s Forum was “Pristina 2030 – Leading the way towards a Capital of the Future”.

 

KBF is becoming an annual event during which business leaders, economic experts, preeminent thinkers, politicians and other public stakeholders will discuss the socio-economic challenges and opportunities of Kosova in the forthcoming years, under the regional and global umbrella. Our attendees benefit from inspiring talks and exclusive insights by some of the foremost business national and international experts and will benefit from being presented investment opportunities and from networking with diverse, high-level participants.

 

We believe that the private sector and industries have a huge role to play in advancing progressive economic and business agendas of the future. This can be done while they adhere to the highest standards of sustainability, integrity, and professionalism. Therefore, the Forum provides a transparent and collaborative platform that fosters dialogue, inspires change, promotes Kosova as an important regional business player and encourages concrete actions to contribute to Kosova’s economic development at large.

Our Mission

We believe that the most effective impact on Kosova’s economy and Kosova’s brand identity can be achieved by bringing together, inspiring and equipping Kosova’s entrepreneurs and business leaders with ideas, skills and tools to build new companies and to grow their existing ones at a higher standard of corporate levels. At the same time, it is imperative to offer them a national platform to discuss their needs and their views with the public leaders and stakeholders.

 

That is why KBF is on a mission to empower change-makers to boost Kosova economic development. 

 

KBF will contribute with independent, impartial and professional advice, which will be gathered and prioritized through a holistic approach with the contribution of all the relevant stakeholders. Through the Forum, these stakeholders will have a platform to discuss and work together for tackling the challenges of Kosova economic development and for building a common economic agenda for Kosova’s prosperity.

 

KBF aims to become the national most important economic event in terms of relevance and impact, that at the same time will contribute to create a more positive image and reputation for Kosova.
