The Balkans and Black Sea Cooperation Forum is an independent, non-governmental, non-partisan economic platform powered by private and public institutions and supported by a number of international and regional organizations, aiming at identifying, strengthening, and promoting economic relations, business opportunities, cross‐border cooperation, and sustainable growth and development across the Balkans, the Black Sea region, and beyond.

It offers a powerful networking platform where leading business and policy makers exchange views to transform ideas into reality. They focus on bridging differences and exploiting opportunities for cohesion, capacity building and models transferability. This fosters dialogue and business development across a region of 18 countries and 370 million people.

The region that the Balkans and Black Sea Cooperation Forum focuses on consists of Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Georgia, Greece, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, the Russian Federation, Serbia, Slovenia, Turkey, and Ukraine. Over 500 participants are expected at the Forum, including a number of high-level government officials, representatives of business and education, non-government organizations, media, and others.

CEEMAN is proud to support the forum by contributing speakers at the sessions related to education. On 30 May, CEEMAN President Danica Purg and PRME Steering Committee Chair Andrew Main Wilson will speak at a panel on Education and Innovation for Sustainable Development at the first forum event focusing on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2030. Prof. Purg will then also moderate a parallel session on higher education innovation: "Digital Transformation and Innovation, the Role of Technology in Driving Future Changes". Among other speakers, Janez Škrabec, chief executive officer of Riko and CEEMAN corporate member, will share his business perspective on management education issues.
