Belgian-Macedonian Business Club

The Economic Chamber of North-West Macedonia (OEMVP) recently marked a major milestone—the 15th anniversary of the prestigious TOP 100™ event. Over the past decade and a half, this initiative has become a symbol of progress, growth, and collaboration for businesses in the region.

A Journey of Unprecedented Growth
When the TOP 100™ event began in 2009, the total turnover of participating companies stood at €350 million. Today, in 2023, that figure has reached an astonishing €1.4 billion, a remarkable increase of €1.1 billion or 307 %. This growth is a testament to the resilience, innovation, and determination of the business community in North-West Macedonia.

“The Economic Chamber of North-West Macedonia will continue to represent and defend the interests of its members, providing significant information and serving as a bridge between institutions and the business community.”

Mr. Mendi Qyra, President of OEMVP

Recognizing Excellence and Innovation
The TOP 100™ serves as more than just a list of high-performing companies; it is an acknowledgment of their contribution to the economic development of the region. These businesses not only drive local employment but also play a crucial role in boosting exports, fostering innovation, and strengthening the community.

A Platform for Collaboration
The event brought together government representatives, business leaders, and international partners, including the Belgium-Macedonian Business Club (BMBC), led by its President, Ms. Hilde De Saedeleir. OEMVP and BMBC have been working closely on several initiatives, such as the #HuCaThon project, which focuses on harnessing human capital for sustainable growth.

Looking Ahead
As OEMVP celebrates this milestone, the future holds even greater promise. The Chamber remains committed to fostering partnerships, encouraging innovation, and supporting businesses to thrive in a rapidly changing global economy.
