The Macedonia2025 Summit – a dynamic platform for sharing knowledge on business economy, leadership and innovation – is an annual “think-and-do” tank where participants can gain profound insights into global trends that inspire blue-skies thinking and innovative solutions to local and regional challenges across a range of critical areas.
The Summit provides a platform for globally respected experts and thought leaders offering unique perspectives on the inter-connected fields of business development and economic progress, culture and education, health and leisure, opportunities arising from innovative use of technology, and importantly, the many rewards of value-based leadership, good corporate governance and corporate social responsibility.
The Summit will take place October 20 & 21 and that gives everyone enough time to plan ahead and make the trip to the newly opened Marriott Hotel in Skopje where a core group of managers and executives will be present to discuss the next big idea or business opportunity.
