SUSTAINING ECONOMIC GROWTH, INVESTMENTS AND EXPORTS

IN AN INCLUSIVE SOCIETY2015

2015

Dear friends & supporters of Macedonia,

The aim of the 2015 Economic Summit is to encompass the focal points in the way forward for Macedonia. A forward-thinking group of experts and relevant industry leaders from the country, its diaspora and from across the world will discuss solutions to the critical issues of economic development.

Macedonian business leaders, diaspora professionals and interested investors are welcome to join us and be part of interactive debates that stimulate economic collaboration.

The list of topics will be considered in the regional context, across a diverse range of sectors that can maximize development results: IT, BPO/Call Centers, CAD/CAM engineering, R&D and architectural design, premium agriculture products, alternative tourism, textile and apparel, mining and natural resources, infrastructure, renewable energy and more.

We would like to invite you to join us at the Summit and take part in this unique business experience. Your participation will contribute to another successful Summit organized by Macedonia2025. Our office in Macedonia will be happy to provide you with any additional information that you might need.

Looking forward to hosting you in Skopje!

Zoran Martinovski

Macedonia2025 Board Member and Summit Chair

TESTIMONIALS

Jatin ThakrarGeneral Manager of Johnson Matthey ECT Macedonia

“The Summit brings together people for networking and builds on strengths. The event provides a strong forum to discuss and debate issues relevant to business and welfare in Macedonia with intention that some of these could be improved. Many of the themes revolved around competitive-ness and attractiveness of Macedonia as an investment destination.”

Hubertus Van der VaartCo-founder/Chairman of SEAF

“I was really impressed of how honest the panelists were. This event is really important because it is aggregating both the Macedonian community and foreign investors that are looking for opportunities.”

Christopher GalvinCo-Founder and Chairman of Harrison Street Capital

and former CEO of Motorola “Your country has already proposed architecture for how countries

become ultimately successful, now you have to implement it. An important thing is to have the ability to educate and develop people

- they are the main asset for every company and country in general. Events like this Summit also contribute towards making

the country more competitive.”
