Bosnia's too tiny and badly connected to be relevant. Sarajevo's definitely the leader, with smaller tech scenes in Mostar, Tuzla and Banja Luka, but it's almost all outsourcing. A fair amount of those outsourcing companies were founded by Bosnian migrants abroad, "investing back" into their homeland by (ab)using cheap local IT labour. I'd have trouble naming more than 5 local IT companies that actually have their own products on the market. For a drastic change to happen, loads of things would need to be improved: more datacenters, better interconnection (Sarajevo's just annoyingly difficult to reach from any direction), more than one decent IT college, Sarajevo's infrastructure is still lagging behind Zagreb's and Belgrade's (it was... a little more directly involved in the war, to put it mildly), and at least some sense of political stability on a national level. Marginal improvements can definitely be observed if you follow closely enough, but I'd say it'd take another decade of investments before it stops feeling like a major disadvantage in comparison to even its neighbouring capitals.
