Summit Description The rate and level of development of any national economy is connected to the rate of success at which great ideas become reality. One of the main prerequisites for an economy to take on advanced forms of progress is found in the ability of its most industrious proponents to put together an ambitious “big picture�. Macedonia2025 has been hard at work in trying to connect the dots to an economy that is striving to advance by empowering competitive sectors, bringing investments, closing the skill gap and jump-starting innovative companies that have the potential to create value.

Furthermore, we envision Macedonia as a functional part of a regional and continental network of trade and cooperation. The Summit is the embodiment of this effort. We have invited to Macedonia people who play significant roles in the development of products, services and processes that bring change to the world. We are eager to receive their contribution to the circulation of ideas in the local business ecosystem.

Summit Topics The focus of this year’s discussion is on renewable energies and smart technologies as gateways to development. We chose these topics because they need to be incorporated in the development narrative at the highest level of decision making in government as well as in business. The panelists will discuss about the production and use of renewable energies, smart cities, telehealth, electric vehicles, cognitive research, European integration, prospects for growth, competitive sectors and much more.
