Conference “FINANCING FOR GROWTH: FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO SMEs IN SERBIA”
European Consulting Group, in cooperation with our long-term partners – Serbian Association of Managers, Association of Business Women of Serbia and Impact Hub Belgrade, supported by our sponsor ERSTE Bank, are organizing this year’s CEED conference in Belgrade, on June 10th 2015, at 9.30h at Impact Hub, Makedonska 21. The goal of the conference is to sum up all the aspects of the external financing sources available to the small and medium enterprises in Serbia. Based on the latest research, ratio of the self- and external funding sources in SMEs is 3:1, this being one of the major obstacles for further economic growth of SMEs.
The opening speeches will be delivered by Ms. Katarina Obradović Jovanović, Assistant Minister of Economy, who will address the current state of affairs in the sector in Serbia in relation to the EU accession process, followed by Mr. Ante Babić, Director of the Center for International Development, and head of the EUforia project at the Croatian Council for foreign investment. Mr.Babić, with his vast experience in financial consulting, investing, and lobbying, has a significant role in improving business climate in Croatia prior and during the EU accession process.
Visitors will then be able to participate in one of the three panels:
