The Economic Chamber of North Macedonia has launched the Business Club podcast, the latest initiative by President Branko Azeski. This platform aims to open new horizons for thought, encourage dialogue on pressing economic challenges, and bring the experiences of the real sector closer to the broader public.

The new podcast, alongside business publications Strategic Documents of the Chamber and A New Deal for Economic Development by Azeski and Professor Dr. Darko Lazarov, was introduced during a promotion event in Ohrid. The event was attended by Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade Timcho Mucunski, the Mayor of Ohrid Municipality, Kiril Pecakov, as well as representatives from the business sector and members of parliament.

During the promotion, Azeski emphasized that the Business Club podcast aims to highlight a new generation of young Macedonian businesspeople, bringing fresh energy to the economy and taking on the risks that it will face over the next 15–20 years.

"As a business community, we are determined to follow the government's path if it continues to listen to our requests in the interest of the state while freely rejecting any requests that serve only the business sector. Business cannot exist for itself alone—it must exist for everyone. This is the goal we aim to achieve," said Azeski.

The first episode of the Business Club podcast is already available on the Chamber's YouTube channel. In this episode, President Azeski speaks with Ivo Jankoski, owner of the production company Treto Uvo (Third Ear), who is also the creator and producer of the series. Business Club is a joint project of the Economic Chamber of North Macedonia and Treto Uvo.

A new episode of the podcast will be released every Thursday at 12 o’clock. In each installment, Azeski will engage in conversations with influential businesspeople, company founders, entrepreneurs, and investors with significant experience and tangible contributions to the development of the Macedonian economy. Each guest, through their unique expertise and experience, will provide valuable insights into the business environment, global economic changes, and the specific challenges and opportunities for the Macedonian private sector.

The Business Club podcast is an excellent opportunity for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the local and global economic context while learning from the experiences of the most successful business leaders.
