TIRANA, April 2 /ATA/ – Albanian businesses will join a major regional event on April 9 in Belgrade, Serbia, where they can explore European Union-backed financing options through the Western Balkans Investment Framework (WBIF) and connect with key partners for growth.
The EU Delegation to Albania announced Wednesday that the regional meeting is hosted by European Commission’s Directorate-General for Enlargement and Eastern Neighbourhood (DG ENEST), in cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia (CCIS) and the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) through FINNO platform.
Companies from the Western Balkans and the European Union, along with financial institutions and business development experts will discuss ways to empower small and medium-sized enterprises according to European models.
The Event covers the Western Balkans region, namely Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia.
The event aims to facilitate private investments in the region by informing micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) hands-on about accessing EU-backed financing, notably under the Western Balkan Investment Framework (WBIF); encouraging match-making among MSMEs in the Western Balkans region, between EU and Western Balkans’ MSMEs as well as between MSMEs and financial institutions (Business-to-Business and Business-to-Finance); facilitating knowledge-sharing between local and EU businesses, public authorities and DG ENEST on policies but also obstacles to doing business.
