SUMMIT 2012 Letter from Mike Zafirovski, Macedonia 2025 Chairman Welcome to Ohrid and to the first annual Macedonia Global Investment Summit! On behalf of Macedonia 2025, our sponsors and supporters, I would like to thank you for your attendance and participation in this valuable, professional Summit. Globally, we are experiencing many economic challenges and unfortunately it does not look like a quick turnaround for Europe. Many economists believe this crisis will take years to work out. However, I still believe that it is very possible for developing countries like Macedonia to grow faster than the global or Euro economies. The realities of the country’s situation of low cost, available employees, strategic location, attractive tax INVESTMENT SUMMIT GLOBAL MACEDONIA rates and incentives for investment should be a competitive advantage for growth. But it will require confidence, urgency and resolve to move the country forward by all the stakeholders (employers, employees, the government, the education system, and the Diaspora). Because of this, we believe that it is a perfect time to explore the potential opportunities and strengthen the platform to build future partnerships and relationships. Through our combined expertise, knowledge and international contracts, we can together help in developing communication and strategies that suggest and enforce long term successes for local companies, investors and diaspora members. The Investment Summit is a forum that has been organized to benefit relationship and continue to help build the bridges between Macedonian businesses, Diaspora businesses professionals, and foreign investors. Our goal is to inspire people to become innovative and help businesses to become competitive in the global market.
