The Institute for Geopolitics, Economy and Security (IGES) is an independent think tank based in Sarajevo, dedicated to advancing knowledge, dialogue and cooperation across Bosnia and Herzegovina and Southeast Europe.
Through research, analysis, dialogue and education, IGES works to strengthen understanding of geopolitical, economic and security challenges. We build professional capacity among business leaders, public officials and emerging leaders — offering educational and expert programs designed for those who shape decisions today and those who will shape them tomorrow.
The Institute advocates for democratic governance, economic freedom, regional cooperation and Euro-Atlantic integration — linking local expertise with global experience. We cooperate with governments, academic institutions, international organizations, the non-governmental sector and experts who share the same principles.
