NAPEC Innovation Conference
"Participating in the NAPEC conference was a great milestone and accelerator for my company, Empire Robotics. Throughout the application process and through the competition, we received focused and constructive feedback on our business, our technology, and the plan we have to commercialize. The judges were active and candid in their thoughts and questions for us, and we had valuable conversations following the competition with the judges who continued to support us. Through attendance of the conference, Empire Robotics made several beneficial new relationships with potential partners, investors, and advisors to help us succeed. Overall, this was an extremely valuable event to participate in and we are very appreciative of the generous prize and supportive NAPEC community we came away with."

"Very well organized and interesting conference. The idea of linking the innovation challenge and the stock exchange panel is really great. I think the executives from exchanges had a nice opportunity to see the real world of entrepreneurs and to learn a lot from the innovators. It was also very valuable being able to meet different people from the Balkan region and discuss possible cooperation."

Testimonials
"Considering the strategic vision of Borsa İstanbul, NAPEC Innovation Conference 2013 has been a cornerstone event for us. The Conference not only provided an efficient platform for participants from different sectors to catch up with latest innovative projects and developments in Balkan capital markets, but also proved to be a great occasion for networking. We had discussions about Turkey’s growing potential with several asset managers and investors, and talked about new events to be organized with a more focused audience. Bringing together six Balkan exchanges along with Turkey in New York-USA, the Conference drew a picture of Balkan capital markets as well as developments, opportunities and challenges in these markets. The Conference has also been the first of its kind in terms of revealing the eagerness of Balkan exchanges to work together for integration. After the Conference, Borsa İstanbul had follow-up meetings with Balkan exchanges and we hope to bear fruit of these discussions soon."

“I would like to thank you for the memorable conference. It was indeed very well organized and it resulted in a fantastic event. Thank you for the kind hospitality that you and your team showed us during the conference. I thoroughly enjoyed my participation in the NAPEC Conference and especially in the panel, which was again, quite well organized. The conference also gave us the occasion to discuss investment opportunities and the role the Stock Exchange plays in facilitating those opportunities, & creating synergy by developing a regional network. This Conference is just a start point for other collaborations in the future.”

“This event was truly inspiring for me. It is great to see devotion to innovation in so many aspects. Also, I was very happy to see that there is a lot of interest for the Croatian market and the group of markets of South Eastern Europe, we belong to. I am convinced this conference will be a place of innovation exchange for many years to come.”

"The NAPEC Innovation conference was a great opportunity for Jibon Health Technologies, Inc. to gain exposure, feedback, and professional contacts on an international scale, as well as learn about some interesting new products and innovations in the medical field. The generous 2nd place prize money that we came home with is helping with key research and development costs, and we are very excited to return to a future NAPEC conference with a new, improved Tampostat™ device made possible in part by the feedback and resources gained at NAPEC 2012."
