Chairman of the Organizing Committee, Mahir Hodžić, emphasized that shared vision, collaboration, and innovation are the key drivers of new value in the industry. “These days, Skopje has become the regional hub of the security sector — a place where innovations and best practices are presented, while B2B meetings create new partnerships. I especially thank the presidents of professional chambers across the region for their support, which gives this event additional credibility,” Hodžić stated, also inviting industry representatives to attend the upcoming Romanian Security Summit in Bucharest.
