EXPO 2027 has clearly defined business objectives, including building a digital economy and accelerating innovation, enhancing digital transformation, supporting small and medium-sized enterprises in the country and the region, enabling cross-border business connections, shaping an advanced society, and fostering new bilateral relations. These objectives reflect the intention for EXPO to be more than just an exhibition – to become a catalyst for long-term economic development.
Company participation is planned through specialized business events and platforms. As part of EXPO, a Global Business Summit will be organized, along with six thematic business forums and over 80 events within the business calendar. In addition, specialized business platforms will be introduced: the Business Connect Center, the EXPO 2027 B2B application, and Country Business Briefings showcasing the business environments of participating countries.
All foreign delegations visiting Serbia during EXPO 2027 will be treated as business delegations, with a focus on connecting them with local enterprises. During the exhibition, the CCIS will be open to all forms of business networking and matchmaking, with the possibility of organizing customized forums in line with the specific needs of companies. In this context, the Chamber will also leverage its regional role through cooperation with partners from the Western Balkans region (WB6 initiative).
By the time EXPO 2027 begins, WTC Belgrade will be fully operational and ready to offer opportunities for multilateral business cooperation in the field of international trade. In this way, Belgrade and Serbia will be positioned as an important hub for regional and global business collaboration.

A kick-off meeting held in Naples officially marked the launch of a three-year INTERREG project titled “Promoting the Use of Renewable Hydrogen for a Sustainable and Greener Europe – PRHyUS”.
The PRHyUS project aims to promote the use of renewable hydrogen, thereby accelerating the energy transition, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and supporting the goals of the European Green Deal. The Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia (CCIS) is participating in the project as part of an international consortium that includes partners from Italy, Germany, Poland, France, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Romania, and Serbia.
According to Dušan Stokić, Head of the Environmental Protection Unit at CCIS and one of the project experts, the initiative focuses on increasing the demand for renewable hydrogen, fostering the development and deployment of hydrogen technologies in high-emission sectors, such as industry, mobility, and household heating. At the same time, the project plans to strengthen cooperation among public authorities, local administrations, industry stakeholders, and the academic and scientific communities to ensure the long-term and sustainable use of these technologies.
The project also includes the development of policy guidelines for decision-makers and businesses, the creation of digital tools to assess the impact of hydrogen use, and contributions to policy-making for integrating hydrogen into regional energy strategies. Additionally, PRHyUS aims to enhance transnational cooperation and facilitate the exchange of best practices among partners.
Ultimately, the PRHyUS project seeks to contribute to energy security, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, stimulate investment in hydrogen technologies, and strengthen regional economies across Europe, aligning with the vision of a climate-neutral continent.

INTERREG Project PRHyUS on Renewable Hydrogen Usage Launched

The Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement between Serbia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which came into force on June 1, opens up an important and highly promising market in the Gulf region for Serbian companies at a higher level. This agreement is expected to bring new partnerships and business opportunities to the Serbian economy, while also expanding cooperation in the services sector, from logistics to ICT, it was&nbsp;highlighted today at the presentation of the agreement at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia (CCIS). Over the next three years, nearly 80% of the products covered by the agreement are expected to be traded under a free trade regime.

<div class="article-photo"><img src="https://en-api.pks.rs/storage/assets/DSC01304_960x540.jpg" id="image-tag-1748863329020" data-image-alignment="article-photo" data-image-size-id="original" data-asset-id="1722"></div>

According to Marko Čadež, President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia, the Economic Partnership Agreement between Serbia and the UAE is the first of its kind that Serbia has signed with any country in terms of scope and areas of cooperation, and it holds great strategic significance for the country.
Čadež emphasized that the agreement brings a new quality to the relations between the two nations and opens a new chapter in cooperation, not only in free trade of goods but also in significant liberalization of the services sector. The first to feel the impact of the agreement, he said, will be Serbian producers of agricultural and food products, who are already present in the UAE market and have established contacts with local buyers.
The business community anticipates the creation of conditions for full implementation of the agreement, particularly regarding the provision of halal certification for a range of products, from the meat industry to cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Čadež announced that the CCIS will be actively involved in addressing these issues.
“Major steps have been taken, and major potential lies ahead. It is up to us, as the business community, to bring these agreements to life through new contracts,” Čadež said, inviting all interested companies to contact the CCIS representative office in Dubai for key information.
“The agreement with the UAE is part of a new generation of trade agreements that cover not only goods but also the liberalization of services. This will undoubtedly be of interest to many companies operating in areas such as telecommunications, logistics, and business services,” said Jagoda Lazarević, Minister of Internal and Foreign Trade in the Government of Serbia. She noted that trade in goods between the two countries remains relatively modest, amounting to around 200 million USD, while trade in services is significantly more developed, exceeding 600 million USD.
“When you look at both segments&mdash;goods and services&mdash;the total trade volume is slightly over 800 million USD, which is already a substantial figure with potential for significant growth. Upon entry into force, the agreement immediately covers more than 60% of products under the free trade regime,” explained Lazarević.
She added that the agreement features shorter timelines for phased tariff reductions, so that in three years, an additional 15% of products will be duty-free, with full liberalization expected in the fifth year of implementation.
The minister also expressed expectations that the agreement will positively impact the inflow of new investments. “I believe that through partnerships like this one with the Emirates, we will have mutual and long-term intensive economic cooperation that fully reflects the excellent political relations between our two countries,” Lazarević stated.

<div class="article-photo"><img src="https://en-api.pks.rs/storage/assets/DSC01314_960x540.jpg" id="image-tag-1748863377689" data-image-alignment="article-photo" data-image-size-id="original" data-asset-id="1723"></div>

Ahmed Hatem Al Menhali, the UAE Ambassador to Serbia, said that the agreement reflects a mutual commitment to strengthening economic ties and expanding trade cooperation between Serbia and the UAE.
He emphasized that the agreement is not just about trade, but also serves as a bridge connecting people, economies, and shared visions. It offers a platform for investment and cooperation in various fields, including water management, logistics, digital innovation, and tourism.
“The UAE remains committed to building partnerships based on mutual respect and shared goals. Serbia is a key partner in that vision, and we believe there is significant room to deepen our cooperation,” concluded the UAE Ambassador.

A New Opportunity to Strengthen Business Ties Between Serbia and the UAE

“The United Kingdom is one of Serbia's most significant partners, both economically and technologically. For years, it has ranked among the top three partners in service trade, immediately after Germany and the United States,” said Mihailo Vesović, Deputy President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia, at the First British-Serbian Technology Conference held today at the Science and Technology Park in Novi Sad.<div class="article-photo"><img src="https://en-api.pks.rs/storage/assets/20250529_100534.jpg" id="image-tag-1748597030586" data-image-alignment="article-photo" data-image-size-id="original" data-asset-id="1717"></div>
The conference brought together over 250 participants and more than 20 British companies from the fields of information and communication technologies, financial services, cybersecurity, and digital innovations. Discussions focused on the application of new technologies, particularly artificial intelligence in the economy, as well as opportunities to enhance cooperation between Serbia and the United Kingdom in the area of digital transformation.<div class="article-photo"><img src="https://en-api.pks.rs/storage/assets/20250529_103731_960x720.jpg" id="image-tag-1748597046899" data-image-alignment="article-photo" data-image-size-id="original" data-asset-id="1718"></div>
Vesović emphasized that the Serbian ICT sector currently accounts for about 40% of total service trade with the UK, predominantly through software exports. Total service exports to the UK have exceeded €1.5 billion, with Serbia achieving a surplus of €386 million.
Software exports have closely approached the total goods exports of all Serbian products to the UK, which amounted to €430 million in 2024.
The importance of bilateral cooperation in the fields of technology, innovation, and education was also highlighted by Lord Ranger, Chairman of the British-Serbian Chamber of Commerce; Prof. Dr. Mihailo Jovanović, Director of the Office for IT and eGovernment; British Ambassador to Serbia Edward Ferguson; and Chris Barton, the UK’s Special Trade Envoy for Europe.During the conference, a new professional development program from the University of Cambridge was presented, aimed at startups and innovators from Serbia.<div class="article-photo"><img src="https://en-api.pks.rs/storage/assets/20250529_132252_960x720.jpg" id="image-tag-1748597068278" data-image-alignment="article-photo" data-image-size-id="original" data-asset-id="1719"></div>

Technologies at the Heart of Serbia–UK Cooperation

Tourism and agriculture represent promising sectors for strengthening economic cooperation between Serbia and Zambia. Zambia’s intention to participate in the specialized exhibition EXPO 2027 provides additional motivation for the development of bilateral activities. This was highlighted during a meeting between Mihailo Vesović, Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia (CCIS), and Mulambo Haimbe, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Zambia, as well as John Shimbela, Advisor to the President of Zambia.
At the meeting held at the CCIS, Vesović emphasized that EXPO2027 is a key opportunity to lay the foundations for stronger economic cooperation. "If we use the next two years to participate jointly in trade fairs and business forums, we can significantly advance our bilateral relations," said Vesović, adding that the Chamber will provide full support for the arrival of a Zambian business delegation and facilitate its connection with the Serbian economy.
Foreign Minister Mulambo Haimbe presented Zambia’s strategic development priorities, focusing on strengthening economic stability, developing infrastructure, and positioning Zambia as a regional hub for trade and investment, despite its lack of direct maritime access. He highlighted the importance of natural resources, particularly critical minerals such as cobalt and nickel, as well as the significant potential in agriculture, where a well-developed scientific and research base already exists.
Tourism was pointed out as one of the most promising sectors for cooperation, given that Zambia is home to 20 national parks, including the world-famous Victoria Falls among its top tourist attractions. To strengthen tourism cooperation, it was proposed that Zambia present its tourism offer at the next International Tourism Fair in Belgrade.
In 2024, foreign trade between Serbia and Zambia amounted to 2.32 million US dollars. Serbia exported goods worth 2.25 million dollars to Zambia, primarily electric motors, wooden furniture, and specialized equipment. In return, Serbia imported goods worth 71.9 thousand dollars from Zambia, mostly consisting of cut flowers and seeds of various types of vegetables.<div class="article-photo"><img src="https://en-api.pks.rs/storage/assets/DSC00735-21.jpg" id="image-tag-1748419500724" data-image-alignment="article-photo" data-image-size-id="original" data-asset-id="1715"></div>

Ningbo and Zhejiang Province continue to actively develop the cooperation platform with CEE countries based on the “three main destinations” principle: as a gateway for CEE goods to enter the Chinese market, a hub for two-way investment and cooperation between China and CEE countries, and a platform for cultural exchange. The Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia will continue to actively participate and fully realize the potential of cooperation in all three priority areas.
