EVENT HIGHLIGHT: ADVANCING BUSINESS COOPERATION WITH “ST. KLIMENT OHRIDSKI” – BITOLA UNIVERSITY
Over 80 representatives of the Bitola-area academic and business communities attended this very interactive and high-
energy event. The main message of this event was that significant effort is needed to meet with companies and identify
the specific ways in which they are willing and able to cooperate with educational institutions. The goal shouldn’t be how
many MOUs a faculty has with companies on paper, but whether their cooperation with even a few companies is having a
positive impact on as many students as possible. The event also included inspiring presentations from a number of
students as well as Pivara Skopje, ArcelorMittal Skopje, EVN Macedonia, Microsoft Macedonia and Alliance One
Macedonia – who shared their successes, challenges and suggestions.
EVENT HIGHLIGHT: MEMBER TO MEMBER LEARNING SESSIONS
In 2016 we continued hosting Member-to-Member Learning Sessions, where member companies share their expertise
with interested attendees. These sessions are generally very interactive, thus serve both an educational (e.g., introducing
attendees to trends in your industry) and promotional purpose. In all, 76 of our members attended these events in 2016.
