As part of the Innovative Initiative “Foreign Direct Investment in Macedonia: Dream or Reality?”, The community mobilizer Filip Ivanovski organizes a public event (discussion) which will be held on 1.12.2021 at Woodstock Café.

The event will encourage discussion on the importance of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to society, analyze the relationship between FDI and trade, present a comparative FDI analysis for the Western Balkans, and discuss security as a key factor for attracting new FDI. The results of the survey on public awareness of FDI in Macedonia, conducted by the holder of this project Filip Ivanovski in August, will be presented.

After the discussion, attendees will have the opportunity for an informal cocktail party.

We would be honored if you come and actively participate in the discussion!
