I’m delighted to share that I’ll be speaking at the UK–Western Balkans Building Futures Summit taking place on 20 November 2025 in Belgrade, Serbia. The event will bring together some of the most forward-thinking minds from across the UK and Western Balkans. Together, we’ll explore how collaboration can unlock new pathways for innovation, sustainable growth, and connectivity across borders. This summit is not just about innovation or infrastructure; it’s about building shared futures. It’s about fostering partnerships that translate ideas into action, and creating opportunities for people, communities, and businesses to thrive through smarter investment, innovation, and inclusive growth. In my session, I’ll be speaking about Digital Expectations of the Future Citizen and Readiness of Municipalities ; I’m particularly passionate about how the UK and Western Balkans can work together to co-create resilient systems that empower local economies while driving progress on a global scale. Events like this remind us of the power of collaboration and shared vision. The Western Balkans is a region full of energy, innovation, and potential - and when we connect that with UK expertise, investment, and creativity, the results can be truly transformative. I’m looking forward to engaging with leaders from government, business, academia and civil society to discuss practical ways we can: ✅ Strengthen regional connectivity and trade ✅ Foster sustainable infrastructure and energy solutions ✅ Support innovation ecosystems and digital inclusion ✅ Build long-term partnerships that drive mutual growth To view the full agenda and secure your spot at the summit visit: 👉 https://lnkd.in/eJnrEj8x Let’s build the future together. 💡 #UKWesternBalkans #BuildingFutures #Innovation #Connectivity #Growth #Belgrade #Sustainability #Partnerships #Leadership #Collaboration #DigitalTransformation #Infrastructure
