The Economy Forum came to life as a response to NATO’s interest in economic development and security. We strive to help realize this goal by increasing economic trade among NATO Allies and partner countries. This business forum included representatives and companies from Turkey, Poland, Albania, Bulgaria, Georgia, Kosovo, Croatia, Hungary, and Macedonia.
