What Privredna komora Republike Srpske does

Privredna komora Republike Srpske (Chamber of Commerce of Republika Srpska) is the statutory business association for Republika Srpska, the Serb entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina, founded in 1992 and headquartered in Banja Luka. Operating as a non-profit membership association with 22 employees, it provides a portfolio of public-authorized services (ATA carnets, credit ratings/boniteti, foreign trade arbitration, Court of Honor, professional driver certification) alongside business support services to its member companies across 17 industry-specific branch associations and 5 regional chambers (Banja Luka, Bijeljina, Doboj, Trebinje, Istočno Sarajevo). The Chamber serves an addressable population of more than 12,000 registered businesses in its Business Register, which catalogues over 150,000 products.

The Chamber's operating platform comprises four digital products (InfoBiz for regulatory and financing information, a B2B matchmaking platform, the eEducation learning platform, and the Poslovni registar business register), three operating centers (Digital Transformation Center, Center for Business Internationalization, Center for Project Management and Analyses), and an IT Center, plus specialized projects including the DIH IDEMO Digital Innovation Hub, ESG Akademija training program, DiGreenSME and DESET green transition projects, and a 21-year-running 'Best in Economy of Republika Srpska' competition. Recent additions include a Sustainability Self-Assessment Tool (January 2026) and a 'Partner for Green Transition' advisory service.

The revenue model is membership subscriptions (annual billing, tiers by company size, not publicly disclosed) combined with professional service fees for certifications, training, and dispute resolution. Significant non-dues funding is delivered through development projects (notably the 9 million EUR EU4PSD/SEDEP program over three years, co-financed by the EU and German BMZ and implemented by GIZ and OECD), which fund programs such as DiGreenSME, EU4DigitalSME, and local economic development with Swiss Caritas. Go-to-market combines digital self-service, direct office presence across five regional chambers, organized trade fair participation, and program-driven consulting delivery through EU-funded consortia.
