Our Mission

To position Macedonia as a globally recognized force in startups and AI while connecting Southeast Europe into a region where world-class companies are built, scaled, and funded.

We do this by:

  1. Showing the world what’s being built here

    A new generation of founders is rising from Macedonia and Southeast Europe—and it’s time they get the spotlight they deserve.

  2. Bringing the right people into the same room

    Founders, investors, and builders not just to meet, but to create deals, partnerships, and companies that last.

  3. Building the reputation of an entire ecosystem

    Putting Macedonia on the map as a place where innovation happens—and where global opportunities begin.
The team behind it

The people who make it happen

A team of founders, ecosystem builders, marketers, operators and investors working year-round to bring Macedonia and the region into the global startup conversation.
