[00:00:00] The goal is to [00:00:03] set up an adequate private equity fund that would [00:00:06] address [00:00:08] uh, value appreciation, the possibility of increasing [00:00:11] the value [00:00:13] of uh, companies owned by those entrepreneurs we [00:00:17] advised. That's how the idea of the fund was born in 2015. [00:00:20] It took us about five years to raise [00:00:24] the fund; it was a truly pioneering endeavor, wasn't [00:00:27] it? And we raised the fund in 2020. [00:00:31] more than seven years and a We then mm sold our old business and focused [00:00:35] exclusively on investments. [00:00:38] mm So, two of us started more or less alone. Now [00:00:42] I'm really proud that we have built an organization; we have [00:00:45] 22 people, investment professionals, and [00:00:49] we believe that with this second fund, we will achieve even [00:00:52] better results than with the first one, [00:00:55] because with this experience and background that we have [00:00:59] built... and we believe that [00:01:01] we can very focused and very [00:01:05] successfully place these funds that our investors [00:01:07] have given us. What is crucial in your case [00:01:11] when making a decision about [00:01:14] investing? [00:01:18] Well, there are many factors, in essence. What we [00:01:22] look at is the industry. [00:01:25] We do a very deep analysis of the industry, meaning we need to understand [00:01:28] very well what is happening in the industry, where it is [00:01:32] happening. Usually, when we make investments in the region, we look at what has [00:01:35] happened, for example, in Western Europe, Eastern Europe, what are [00:01:39] some trends, mm, what are some things or industries in which [00:01:43] this region might be lagging, mm, what [00:01:47] acquisitions have happened in the wider region, and then we [00:01:51] extract information. In that kind of top-down approach, so to [00:01:54] speak, market analyses, then we look at companies that are here [00:01:58] in the region, we look at their finances, [00:02:01] we organize first meetings and so on. Then, if [00:02:05] we realize after that analysis that it really makes [00:02:10] destroyers, workhorses of sense to look at an industry, then we start concrete discussions, meaning with entrepreneurs, [00:02:13] and what what is extremely [00:02:17] important to us is that uh, money from our [00:02:20] perspective is just a kind of facilitator, right? It's very important [00:02:23] for us to see that we can [00:02:27] make that company at least a regional uh... [00:02:30] a regional platform or even a global company, like [00:02:33] in the case of the Museum of Illusions, [00:02:38] and we do that by looking at which [00:02:41] markets we can access, how we can help these [00:02:44] entrepreneurs or companies access those [00:02:47] markets, [00:02:49] and how we can attract talent, because you can have the best idea, [00:02:52] recognize the industry, [00:02:55] have market access, if you don't have the talent, meaning the people who [00:02:59] will execute that strategy, then you certainly [00:03:02] won't get far, right? [00:03:04] And the third thing we [00:03:06] 4th into the 5th of July, copies of always look at is technology, how [00:03:10] technology can change a certain industry and how we can [00:03:14] 25% discount on the apply that technology. Now it's all about Buzzword and Artificial [00:03:17] Intelligence, right? And the fact is that every [00:03:21] industry will be changed in a smaller or larger form as a [00:03:25] result of the arrival of AI, and that is also one of the analyses [00:03:28] how uh... that we do, so how AI [00:03:32] will change a certain industry and how we can use these [00:03:35] new tools that are now available [00:03:39] to adapt the business model [00:03:43] of the company, to optimize it and so [00:03:45] on. So where do you see that opportunity for [00:03:49] where do you see that opportunity for Bosnia and Herzegovina for markets that [00:03:52] are in some development? Here, [00:03:56] you say that all industries will more or less change [00:04:00] due to technological development, the arrival of AI, [00:04:03] which is here, meaning we no longer [00:04:06] announce it, it is already present and is already slowly changing even [00:04:09] in our regions certain [00:04:12] industries. Well, in my opinion, the opportunity [00:04:15] is in that the world [00:04:18] is generally getting smaller and smaller due to [00:04:21] communication technologies, the internet, [00:04:25] mobile phones and so on. Now, specifically, the possibility [00:04:28] if you have a good good product, [00:04:32] accessing global markets is better than ever, [00:04:35] and this will be increasingly emphasized, [00:04:38] and I would say that the opportunity is precisely in that, meaning [00:04:42] identifying a good product and trying [00:04:45] to market it globally. [00:04:48] I mean, certain political turbulences are happening [00:04:52] at a global level and so on, but our general [00:04:55] experience is that market access has never [00:04:58] been easier if you have [00:05:00] the channels. So that's one opportunity that I absolutely see for [00:05:04] a young person, for example, who has an idea, this [00:05:08] if I compare it to the time when I was young, [00:05:11] for example, right? I mean, you had to go to the library to read something, now everything is [00:05:14] at your fingertips, right? So I think that's the opportunity [00:05:18] that young people and entrepreneurs in general [00:05:21] must uh can uh [00:05:24] realize. Thank you very much for [00:05:26] the interview. Thank [00:05:29] you. [00:05:33] That's all for Forbes Magazine this week. For other news from [00:05:37] the world of business and economy, as well as our exclusive stories and interviews, [00:05:41] read more on Forbes. com. Watch N1 and read Forbes. [00:05:55] I am Majila Šabanović, you are watching N1. [00:06:23] At first it looks like any American warship at sea, [00:06:27] then you notice the sand, more than a thousand [00:06:30] miles from the nearest coastline, hundreds of miles from [00:06:34] any major city, deep inside the western Chinese desert, what [00:06:37] appears to be a full-scale mockup of a US Navy [00:06:41] Arleigh Burke class destroyer. Look at it side by [00:06:44] side with the USS Fitzgerald, the resemblance is striking. Both are [00:06:48] around 510 feet long. At the back, the helicopter flight [00:06:52] deck used to launch and recover naval helicopters. Next are the [00:06:56] vertical launch systems, cells used to fire guided munitions like the [00:06:59] Tomahawk cruise missile, heavily used in the conflict with Iran. This is the [00:07:03] bridge and command area where navigation, communications, and combat operations [00:07:07] are controlled. At the front is the deck gun used for [00:07:10] surface targets, air threats, and shore bombardment. [00:07:14] Together, the details suggest a carefully built [00:07:17] full-scale replica of one of America's main guided missile [00:07:23] the US Navy fleet, more than 70 sailing in oceans around [00:07:26] the world. If conflict ever erupts over [00:07:29] Taiwan, these destroyers would likely be among the first US warships [00:07:33] deployed. Hansu analyzes China's [00:07:37] military for Taiwan's top defense research [00:07:40] institute. Why would China go through all the effort and [00:07:43] expense to build this? The Chinese tried to [00:07:47] prepare everything from top to bottom. The [00:07:51] Chinese military has ballistic missiles that can attack from high angles and cruise [00:07:54] missiles that can attack horizontally, so they're trying to [00:07:57] combine both and enhance their anti-access and area denial [00:08:01] capability. He says they're trying to improve the [00:08:05] accuracy of China's newest hypersonic anti-ship [00:08:08] missiles displayed at Beijing's military parade last year. The [00:08:12] 3D replica is covered with antennas designed to [00:08:15] simulate the radar signature of an American warship, helping China [00:08:19] detect, identify and perhaps target the real [00:08:22] thing. It's located in Xinjiang, the same area where the People's [00:08:26] Liberation Army built 2D flat mockups of US [00:08:29] aircraft carriers and destroyers several years ago, even putting them [00:08:33] on tracks, analysts say, to move at the speed of actual [00:08:36] ships. Have they ever built a 3D mockup [00:08:40] before? It's the first time. Open-source intelligence analyst [00:08:43] Joseph Wen first spotted the mockup when it was still under [00:08:47] construction about a month ago. [00:08:50] I do think this is quite surprising. The scale of the construction is really [00:08:54] massive. What message are they trying to send by building [00:08:57] this? The message that they are sending is China is always [00:09:00] preparing for war. Under [00:09:03] leader Xi Jinping, China has poured billions into [00:09:06] modernizing its military, from aircraft carriers and nuclear [00:09:10] weapons to artificial intelligence. The [00:09:13] PLA has also long trained using mockups of [00:09:16] everything, from US military assets to Taiwan's [00:09:19] presidential office. On China's tightly controlled social [00:09:23] media, censors are allowing comments like these: [00:09:26] The US military's premier escort warships, long regarded [00:09:30] as a source of pride, have now become designated targets [00:09:34] for Chinese missiles. They are nothing more than targets sitting in [00:09:38] the desert waiting to be hit. Will [00:09:41] Ripley. [00:09:43] and an [00:09:52] I [00:09:54] got the goods. So we have Jolly Rancher hard [00:09:58] candy. I'm very familiar. I've been eating these since I was a kid. [00:10:01] Gummies. They also have Heat Wave, which I haven't tried [00:10:05] yet. And that sounds interesting. And then Jolly Rancher ropes. [00:10:09] Never even heard of this. This is their newest candy that [00:10:12] they've put out and it's done incredibly well with [00:10:15] Gen Z. This candy has been [00:10:18] trending. [00:10:20] Jolly Rancher is owned by Hershey's, behind the [00:10:23] iconic Hershey's chocolate bar. Well, we're actually headed to [00:10:27] Hershey, Pennsylvania to get a look behind the scenes. Oh, I can [00:10:31] see all the little chocolate kisses, it's a lamp post. This entire [00:10:34] town was built around Hershey's, the chocolate [00:10:37] maker. Since then, the brand has expanded its [00:10:41] portfolio. They have other types of candy, including Jolly [00:10:45] Rancher, and it really kind of stayed as a hard candy that most [00:10:49] people know, but in the last few years they've really innovated, and they're doing [00:10:53] this because they're realizing that the brand needed to evolve because [00:10:56] Gen Z wants some creative candy. So you're [00:11:00] just you're just eyeballing it. All [00:11:02] right. It's a rhythm. How are you [00:11:06] guys taking what consumers want and changing the way that [00:11:10] you're producing candy here? One of the things that we're [00:11:13] looking at today is leveraging colors from [00:11:16] natural sources. This is the sweet potato [00:11:19] powder, one of them that we've been researching. And as [00:11:23] you can see, it's turning a brilliant purple color, much more [00:11:27] purple. A lot of the sources for colors [00:11:31] are things like radishes, cabbage, beets, [00:11:34] carrots, getting some vegetables in your uh, in your candy. [00:11:38] Because of the demand for new types of Jolly Rancher [00:11:41] products, I mean, how fast are you guys moving on this? [00:11:45] We can move very, very fast. We introduced our Jolly [00:11:48] Rancher freeze dried item in less than a [00:11:51] year. [00:11:54] Making Rancher ropes is really a three-step process and [00:11:58] this is where the first step happens, basically a giant mixer. Step [00:12:02] two, the Jolly Rancher ropes get cooked and then are formed [00:12:05] into long, filled tubes. They go through a [00:12:09] cooling tunnel, travel about the length of half of a football [00:12:12] field, get cut and then they continue [00:12:16] down the belt right into the packaging section. [00:12:20] Vanessa, this is right off the line, as fresh as you can [00:12:23] get. Oh, it's it's... It's [00:12:25] fresh. [00:12:28] Brings me back to my childhood. Jesus with a [00:12:31] twist, with a twist. But Jolly Rancher is certainly on track to become a [00:12:35] billion-dollar brand. In fact, last year, Jolly Rancher grew [00:12:39] 26% in sales. And how much [00:12:42] investment is the company, Hershey's, making in Jolly Rancher [00:12:46] specifically? Our R&D investment overall [00:12:49] has increased by 25%. That's [00:12:52] allowing us to make more products [00:12:56] so that we can continue to delight and shimmer. What's next? We're [00:12:59] going to continue to expand both the flavors delivering [00:13:03] bold, unmistakable flavor um in in forms that already [00:13:07] exist, and coming out with new textures and forms for [00:13:10] Jolly Rancher. So that means a new candy that has never been seen [00:13:14] before from Jolly Rancher. Vanessa, keep your eyes open. Until then, [00:13:18] until then, the ropes. Enjoy those Jolly Rancher [00:13:20] ropes.

[00:26:34] that are becoming more common: fatigue, lack of energy, heart [00:26:38] problems, and a drop in fitness. With us is Doctor [00:26:41] Jasmina Ćorović Kuburović. Good day, [00:26:44] Doctor. Good day and thank you for the invitation. People often [00:26:48] truly think that fatigue is normal, but very often behind that [00:26:51] is a lack of energy at the cellular level, and that is precisely [00:26:55] where coenzyme Q10 plays an important role. Doctor, what [00:26:59] exactly is Q10 and why is it so important? Coenzyme Q10 is a [00:27:03] substance that participates in the creation of energy in our [00:27:06] cells. BMT Coenzyme Q10 is supported [00:27:10] by vitamins and antioxidants that protect cells from damage [00:27:14] and, of course, additionally contribute to the vitality of the organism. And what is [00:27:18] particularly important about this preparation is that [00:27:21] VMT Coenzyme Q10 is microencapsulated, which [00:27:25] means that it is protected and much better absorbed in the body. Precisely [00:27:29] this technology allows coenzyme Q10 to have a very... and [00:27:32] a more stable effect in creating energy at that cellular [00:27:36] level, especially in the heart, which consumes the most [00:27:39] energy. Who is especially recommended BMTQ10, Doctor? [00:27:42] It is recommended for people who experience fatigue, [00:27:46] exhaustion, those who have a lack of [00:27:48] fitness, then for those who have low or [00:27:51] high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high [00:27:55] blood sugar. It is also very important for people who have arrhythmias, [00:27:59] angina pectoris, then heart failure. but also [00:28:03] for those who have poor circulation and problems with blood [00:28:06] vessels. It is also recommended for those who are [00:28:09] recovering from a heart stroke and after [00:28:13] other serious illnesses or muscle weakness. Certainly [00:28:17] also for those who have headaches, have a drop in concentration, [00:28:20] bad mood. It is especially important for those [00:28:23] people who are under stress, certainly also for [00:28:26] smokers and those who use therapies such as [00:28:29] statins and antibiotics and antidep'. presives [00:28:33] Doctor, can you explain to us what exactly this [00:28:36] combination of magnesium and BMTQ10 contains and why [00:28:40] it is so effective? First of all, magnesium in this preparation [00:28:44] comes in various forms such as [00:28:47] citrate, malate, bisglycinate and others, which allows for significantly [00:28:51] better absorption and utilization in the body, and [00:28:54] thanks to that, it then effectively relaxes muscles, [00:28:58] reduces cramps, affects the nervous system, and thus helps with [00:29:02] fatigue, stress, bad sleep.
