Brand Conference 2026 in North Macedonia

The conference brings together leading local and international companies, entrepreneurs, and policymakers to discuss how a strong, competitive brand is built, grown, and scaled today. Organised by Phoenix Rising in partnership with the Swedish-Macedonian Chamber of Commerce, the event combines keynote presentations, panel discussions, and practical case studies, with a particular focus on how local companies can position their brands on the Swedish and wider EU markets.

SCC Legal Counsel Emma Garrett will join the panel discussion Global Rules, Local Consequences – How Macedonian Brands Are Being Stimulated, examining the role of institutions and the private sector in supporting local companies, the challenges they face, and what is needed to drive greater growth.

Emma will also sit on the jury of the Brand Export Competition, a live pitching segment in which three pre-selected companies present their brand to the audience. The winner, chosen by live audience vote, receives a Go-To-Sweden Acceleration Package to support their entry into the Swedish market.

We look forward to contributing to this important conversation on building strong brands and fostering economic cooperation between Sweden and the region.
