With a clear goal of strengthening economic cooperation between North Macedonia and Slovakia, the Macedonian–Slovak Business Forum was held today in Skopje, co-organized by the Agency for Foreign Investments and Export Promotion, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, and the Chamber of Commerce of North Macedonia. The event brought together over 50 companies from both countries, along with representatives of key institutions and business associations.
A key outcome of the Forum was the signing of a Memorandum of Cooperation between the Agency for Foreign Investments and Export Promotion (Invest North Macedonia) and the Slovak Investment and Trade Development Agency (SARIO), signed by the Directors Refik Xhemaili and Egon Zorád. This establishes a stronger institutional framework for joint promotion, information exchange, and support to investors and export-oriented companies.
The Forum provided a direct platform for connecting the business communities through B2B and B2G meetings, networking and matchmaking, initiating concrete discussions on investments, joint projects, and export partnerships. The presentations on investment opportunities and export potential of North Macedonia, with a focus on high value-added sectors, reaffirmed the country’s position as a competitive and stable investment destination in the region.
The Forum was officially opened by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade of the Republic of North Macedonia, Timcho Mucunski, and the Minister of Finance of the Slovak Republic, Ladislav Kamenický, sending a strong message of political support and strategic commitment to deepening bilateral economic relations.
The Agency remains firmly committed to attracting quality foreign investments, promoting exports, and strengthening the competitiveness of the Macedonian economy, through active support to companies in the realization of concrete projects and sustainable partnerships.
