(Educational, public and private sector together for the future of entrepreneurship)
Why this conference? The economic actors and policy creators in Macedonia are constantly seeking solutions to create new jobs and stimulate economic growth.
Through our project “Why go abroad when you can stay and invest in your country” we discovered great programs that stimulate entrepreneurship in almost every region in Macedonia, but it was inevitable to notice the gap existing between the leaders of public institutions and their efforts to support entrepreneurship, the current market opportunities for doing business and the needs and readiness of entrepreneurs. This gap is a place that needs to be developed and worked on to create programs and processes that systematically and measurably will stimulate economic growth.
The connection and relation among institutions, environmental policies and entrepreneurs is what we call “entrepreneurial ecosystem” which means an environment where something live and develop.
Through this project we have mapped and presented an online course that you can find on https://cefe.mk/Investiraj/ what we learned and what we want to present to the guests of the conference is that this ecosystem, as and the other is challenging but very important to maintain and improve.
