Why Bosnia

Germany is stuck. Bosnia is ready.

The German skills shortage is real — and it isn't going away. Our neighbor has what's missing: skilled workers, businesses, quality.

350,000+

Open skilled-trade jobs

In construction and metalwork alone, Germany is short over a third of a million skilled workers (ZDH, 2025).

85%

EU qualification recognition

Bosnian apprenticeships are largely recognized via the SAA — most skilled trades transfer directly.

1,200 km

Same time zone, similar work culture, direct transport links. No continents between you and your team.

About

Two countries. One value chain.

IndustrieConnect24 was founded to close a concrete gap: German companies look for reliable suppliers and skilled personnel — Bosnia-Herzegovina has both in abundance, but hardly any structured market access.

We are not an intermediary that disappears after the first contact. We accompany, translate, document and remain your point of contact throughout the entire cooperation.

FAQ

Questions you may have

The initial inquiry and first matching proposal are free — no upfront payment, no hidden fees. We only charge a pre-agreed commission or project fee on successful placement. All terms are disclosed transparently before contracts. For workforce placement, typical commission is in the range of one gross monthly salary; for supplier partnerships we negotiate per project.
Usually within 72 hours of your inquiry, you'll receive a first matching proposal with 2-3 fitting candidates. The proposal includes short profile, qualification overview, and contact option. Time-critical projects can be handled in 24 hours on request.
Nationwide. Focus areas are Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, Hesse, and North Rhine-Westphalia — where demand for industrial suppliers and skilled workers is highest. We also work with companies in Saxony, Lower Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein, and Berlin.
Costs depend strongly on the specific need. Rough orientation: a Bosnian CNC operator placed in Germany costs between €2,800 and €3,800 gross per month (tariff wage + placement premium). Metal supplier pricing is typically 60–75% of German domestic price levels. For concrete pricing we prepare an individual quote.
