eKapija is the leading business portal in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. In addition to the latest news and reports, eKapija provides its users with economic analyses, announcements of new investments, changes in the business surroundings and the legislation, stock exchange reports, an overview of the latest tenders, awarded contracts, as well as an all-encompassing catalog of companies, which currently contains 200,000 business and legal entities.

The information is available to the users of eKapija through the websites www.ekapija.com, www.ekapija.me, ba.ekapija.com, www.ekapija.rs and through electronic newsletters sent to subscribers’ emails. The eKapija daily business newsletter is adjusted to specific requests of each user and contains information selected as important for their business. Furthermore, being conceived as a B2B service, the eKapija portal also provides an efficient platform for business entities to exchange information.

There is also the service My eKapija, where users can view at any moment the news and tenders in their profiles so as to not miss a single piece of information or potential job for their company.

The portal eKapija is trilingual and is available in its mother tongue, English and German.

In 2014, ”eKapija” signed a statement of compliance with the Good Business Practice Codex of the Association of Online Publishers of Serbia (SOIS). The Codex aims to prescribe the rules of the best practice in digital publishing in order for all digital publishers operating in the territory of the Republic of Serbia to mutually regulate and adhere to the rules of a fair, ethical and good professional practice in creating and publishing content, products and services they offer through their digital media.

How do our articles position in internet search engines?

We are proud to have a high number of ”hits” on search engines and that our documents rank highly within the search.

We especially emphasize that the success tied with the number of hits and positioning on search engines is that much more significant considering that around 40% of documents on eKapija are of the closed type, i.e. available to subscribers only and thereby inaccessible by Google and other search engines.

Who are eKapija portal users?

The user list is one of eKapija’s greatest assets, as well as the fact that there are more than 70% of the individual users of the system – high management of companies, i.e. decision makers and those who cannot be reached so easily through other media. Our subscribers are nearly all banks, insurance companies, brokerage houses, construction organizations, all foreign business clubs, embassies, foreign and local investment funds, but also numerous small and medium enterprises.

Partners

In 2012, eKapija established cooperation with Coface Serbia, a risk management service organization, enabling the portal’s users to view the credit rating (according to the Coface methodology) of their potential clients.

eKapija strategic projects

Aurea – The Aurea Award is primarily an honest attempt from us as a media company to help Serbia’s sustainable development. In the times when most awards are commercialized, Aurea is an attempt to promote truly good projects that are often not talked about so much, but which definitely deserve more attention. A direct benefit to all nominated projects, especially winners, is an extensive media promotion. The main award – Aurea, is presented to a company that implemented the most innovative, socially useful and commercially successful project in Serbia in the previous year. A jury that evaluates nominations and selects the winner is comprised of unbiased and respectable businessmen and economic analysts from renowned companies and organizations, such as IFC, CCIS, FIC, Institute of Economics, Faculty of Economics, Innovation Fund, etc. The visitors of eKapija can vote for their favorites on the Internet.
