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:

  1. Financing by  EU funds,
  2. Financing by Banks,
  3. Financing by Private equity funds.
