Fulfillment of EU standards – positive practices and principles

From a start-up idea to a global brand
Lejla Kraljević knows how to turn a start-up idea into a globally recognized brand. It will be a true story about an idea: to produce caravans from the same material used to make ships. Building a factory for the production of unique Derubis caravans was a “natural manifestation” of her entrepreneurial spirit. She realized that there was a need in the market for innovative and sustainable travel solutions. Lejla wanted to create caravans that would allow people to explore the world in a unique, comfortable and environmentally conscious way . This is exactly how her brand was born, which combines aesthetics, functionality and environmental awareness.
Lejla Kraljević’s story serves as a beacon of inspiration, inspiring others to achieve their dreams while encouraging positive change in the world.
Small wheels of big change
Vilma Tunjić Juzbašić was also marked by positive changes. She currently works as the Director of Sustainability at the Mozaik Foundation, in the special Mozaik ESG Solutions Department. During more than 20 years of work experience in financial institutions, primarily in the corporate sector, she intensively encountered CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) and was fascinated by successful leading companies that manage to be both profitable and socially responsible. This encouraged her to join the Mozaik Foundation and work on starting businesses that support sustainable development (plastic recycling) , contribute to the development of social banking programs for startups (Step by Step program, Sparkasse Bank) and build capacities and an environment for sustainable investments.
Vilma will present the Tech 4 Impact Fund, investing in start-ups with great potential. Namely, this fund focuses on start-ups with great growth potential, which are in line with and contribute to ESG goals as well as the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The fund is designed to significantly influence the local ecosystem, all in the context of the development and creation of high-quality jobs in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
