🎉 SEEIP continues with inspiring workshops in 2025!
On January 21, 2025, we hosted a specialized workshop titled:
"Virtual shares for employees as an incentive - a masterclass from the Netherlands", led by Lisa Dimitrova – co-founder of Sharesquare.
The event, part of Sofia Tech Park's incubation program – South East European Innovators Challenge (SEEIP), focused on best practices and strategies for using virtual shares as an incentive tool for employees.
The session brought together representatives from the Park's ecosystem, startups, and external participants interested in the topic. Together with Lisa Dimitrova, we explored:
🔹 How do virtual shares work?
🔹 What are the best practices for their implementation?
🔹 How to develop successful virtual share plans?
The workshop also highlighted the key differences between virtual shares and stock acquisition plans.
🙏 A big thank you to Lisa Dimitrova for the inspiring and informative session!
