ABOUT US
The event "STRATEGIC ECONOMIC TALKS" is an annual business event and our goal is to present to the international participants the investment and market trends in Southeast Europe as well as to connect the participants and thus promote new investment, trade and business opportunities.
In addition to the official part consisting of panel discussions and keynote speeches, the participants should have enough time for personal opinion exchange and networking, in a relaxed atmosphere.
The next STRATEGIC ECONOMIC TALKS, which will take place in 2025 with a limited number of participants, will focus on the economic relationship between Southeast Europe and the German-speaking countries under the title “SEE the future”.
As part of this event, current economic policy issues will be discussed with prominent decision-makers from business and politics, entrepreneurs, executives, high-ranking representatives of selected interest groups from industry and economic chambers, experts from various economic sectors and media representatives from Southeast Europe and German-speaking countries.
ORGANIZERS
The organizers of the STRATEGIC ECONOMIC TALKS are the non-governmental business association SEEBDN - Southeast Europe Business Development Network, based in Vienna, together with the TPA Group, one of Austria’s leading tax advisory companies.
STRATEGIC PARTNER
MK Group, a holding company from Serbia, active in the fields of agriculture, banking and tourism, is the main strategic partner of this event.
