The founders of iVote are participating at the 2015 SME Assembly by personal invitation from Kristin Schreiber, European Commission Director for SME Policy, and Laurent Solazzi, Luxembourg Ministry of Economy SME Envoy. The assembly is honored by the presence of HRH The Grand Duchess of Luxembourg. The 2015 SME Assembly takes place in Luxembourg on 18-20 November 2015.

It is the most significant event for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Europe. The assembly takes place once a year during the European SME Week. Together with the network of SME Envoys, the assembly creates the governance structure of the Small Business Act.

“It is an honor to be invited to actively contribute in the development of EU SME policy together with well-known partners from the business, academia, policy making and media and co-create innovative ways of cooperation for effective support for entrepreneurs”, says Prof. Ljupcho Antovski, iVote Board member.

“The motto of this year’s gathering is: ‘Europe Works for SMEs: Forward. Together’. It features high profile participants, like HRH The Grand Duchess of Luxembourg in particular for an interactive discussion about women entrepreneurship”, says Prof. Goce Armenski, iVote Board member.
