The event was part of Global Entrepreneurship Week North Macedonia, and we organized it in cooperation with the Regional Center for the Support of Social Enterprises in the Vardar Planning Region, within the framework of the Support to Social Enterprises project.

The Executive Director of the X Factor Accelerator, Milan Dimitrievski, greeted the attendees and emphasized the importance of supporting social entrepreneurial ideas outside of Skopje as well. In that context, he expressed his satisfaction that some of the participants of the fair went through the accelerator programs, and he announced the first investment of X Factor Accelerator in a startup from Veles.

At the fair, successful examples of social enterprises from the Vardar planning region were presented and stands where the participants exchanged ideas and experiences were also exhibited.

The regional fair is part of the project "Support of social entrepreneurship", which is financially supported by the European Union, and implemented by the Barka/Eptisa/Ecoris Consortium in cooperation with the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy.
