We are pleased to announce our partnership as co-organiser of MicroBalkans 2026, the leading regional conference for lending, fintech and non-bank financial institutions in the Western Balkans.

Taking place from 24 to 26 September 2026 in Skopje, North Macedonia, the event will be hosted by the Group of Non-Banking Financial Companies within the Economic Chamber of North Macedonia. Building on the success of previous editions in Sarajevo (2024) and Dubrovnik (2025), MicroBalkans has become a key platform for fostering dialogue, collaboration and innovation across the region’s financial ecosystem.

As a co-organiser, we are proud to support an initiative that brings together policymakers, regulators, financial institutions, fintech companies, investors and development partners to discuss the future of financial inclusion and sustainable finance in the Western Balkans.

The 2026 edition is expected to welcome more than 250 participants and will feature a dynamic programme covering topics such as financial inclusion, SME financing, digital lending, access to capital, credit data infrastructure, EU regulatory developments, responsible lending and consumer protection.

The conference is organised by the MicroBalkans Alliance, which brings together:

  • Group of Non-Banking Financial Companies within the Economic Chamber of North Macedonia
  • Association of Microfinance Institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina (AMFI)
  • Albanian Microfinance Association (AMA)
  • Association of Microfinance Institutions of Montenegro
  • Association of Microfinance Institutions of Kosovo (AMIK)
  • Croatian Association of Credit Unions

Through panel discussions, fireside chats, workshops, startup pitches and networking opportunities, MicroBalkans 2026 will provide a unique space for exchanging knowledge, sharing best practices and exploring solutions to the challenges and opportunities shaping the sector.

We look forward to contributing to this important regional event and to strengthening cooperation among stakeholders working to advance inclusive and responsible financial services across the Western Balkans.

More information, including the detailed agenda and registration details, will be shared soon.
