IBU Professors Ivan Ivanov, and Laze Tripkov, organized the Macedonian debut at the prestigious World Business Angel Investors Forum. The event was hosted by Innox Innovation Center which functions under IBU.

World Business Angel Investors Week is envisioned as a great platform where all stakeholders pause to assess their fast-paced journey, analyze why and how we should leverage angel investment as a must-have financial tool for boosting economies, and reiterate how entrepreneurial ecosystems can create more jobs, more wealth and more social justice in co-operation with key players in early-stage equity markets. It is celebrated every year, under a global theme.

During World Business Angel Investors Week, partners host events and exhibitions related to that year’s theme.

These event partners are individuals and organizations from various sectors who volunteer to share their insights on angel investment, the startup economy, financial inclusion, gender equality, entrepreneurship, and innovation with audiences and collaborators in various sectors.

To recognize and highlight the global entrepreneurship ecosystem’s multi-lingual and multi-cultural business character, some events and activities are conducted in local languages.

World Business Angel Investors Week creates a unique opportunity to showcase fresh and innovative ideas that inspire current and future leaders of the world to take risks on new ideas, collaborate across sectors, and transform world economies through the scaling of entrepreneurship, angel investment, financial inclusion, and innovation.

This week-long event is an open platform for connecting, learning, sharing, exhibiting inventions and innovations, and exchanging know-how that promotes entrepreneurship and angel investment ecosystems.

World Business Angel Investors Week is a great platform from which to campaign for solutions to critical issues of early-stage equity and capital markets and other worldwide concerns at the United Nations, the European Union, and in G20 countries and regional and local economies.
