ALTA Bank – Part of the Dialogue on the Region’s Future at the “Building Futures” Conference
For ALTA Bank, the “Building Futures” conference was not just an opportunity to exchange ideas, but also confirmation that we are part of a broader dialogue about the future of the Western Balkans. This important event, held today at the congress and exhibition space “Ložionica” organized by the British-Serbian Chamber of Commerce, brought together more than 300 participants – government representatives, business leaders, and investors, with the aim of strengthening economic ties and opening new opportunities for cooperation.
ALTA Bank, as a partner of this event, confirmed its role in connecting markets and supporting sustainable development, participating in dialogue about investments, innovations, and the future of the region. ALTA Bank representatives actively participated in discussions with international partners, exchanging experiences and ideas about digitalization, ESG standards, and infrastructure projects that can accelerate the region’s development.
On this occasion, Dr. Una Sikimić, President of the Executive Board of ALTA Bank, gave an exclusive statement for official social media platforms, emphasizing the importance of connecting local economies with global investors and the role of innovation in sustainable growth.
The conference was dedicated to key topics – investments worth 17 billion euros, preparations for EXPO 2027, as well as the impressive 330% growth in trade between the UK and the Western Balkans.
ALTA Bank has positioned itself as a universal bank that integrates all segments of modern banking – from corporate and retail operations to digital platforms that meet the highest European standards. Over the past year, the bank has achieved exceptional results and expanded its presence in the regional market through the acquisition of Stopanska Banka Bitola in North Macedonia.
Innovation is key to ALTA Bank’s strategy – from developing mobile and web services to investing in security technologies. At the same time, infrastructure projects such as ALTA Tower, designed by the renowned British studio Zaha Hadid Architects, demonstrate the bank’s ambition to raise the standard of the business environment in the region. ALTA Tower will be a center for financial and technological initiatives, a space for new ideas and partnerships, and one of the most modern business facilities in this part of Europe.
Through digitalization, implementation of ESG standards, and infrastructure projects, ALTA Bank contributes to creating an environment that opens space for new ideas, partnerships, and sustainable growth. This conference confirms that the Western Balkans is becoming an increasingly important part of the European economic and investment map, and ALTA Bank remains committed to creating opportunities that strengthen regional cooperation and development.
ALTA Bank’s message: “We want to build bridges between local economies and global investors. Through digitalization projects, implementation of ESG standards, and infrastructure initiatives, we are creating an environment that opens doors to new ideas and partnerships. We believe that the Western Balkans should become a space of cooperation, innovation, and sustainable growth, and ALTA Bank is ready to be part of that process.”
