On 4 November 2026, Dr Nenad Stanković, ICPE Representative in Vienna, presented the International Center for Promotion of Enterprises (ICPE) and its cooperation priorities to 16 African ambassadors based in Vienna. The presentation took place at the United Nations premises at the invitation of H.E. Ms Matilda Aku Alomatu Osei-Agyeman, Ambassador of Ghana, who chaired the meeting.
The presentation outlined ICPE’s history, governance and mission, together with its programme priorities for 2025–2030. Particular emphasis was placed on its role as a platform for international cooperation, connecting enterprises and institutions in its Member States and other interested developing countries with partners in Europe, especially Slovenia. Cooperation with Kenya was highlighted as an example of engagement beyond ICPE’s membership.
Dr Stanković emphasised ICPE’s focus on practical cooperation through technology transfer and joint project implementation. Agriculture, water and wastewater management, renewable energy and infrastructure were presented as priority areas for cooperation with African countries. Examples of ongoing projects illustrated ICPE’s work in these fields.
The presentation also outlined how close contact between ICPE and country representatives could support the development of cooperation opportunities into concrete projects.
Ambassador Osei-Agyeman invited interested missions to contact Dr Stanković directly. He expressed his readiness to meet bilaterally with embassies in Vienna to provide further information and explore opportunities to renew cooperation or establish new partnerships.
