One of the aspects of the EU for Innovation project is to enable Albanian universities in offering start-up services and to strengthen linkages with successful universities & university-affiliated incubators in Europe.
We want to build beneficial partnerships that encourage exchange of start-ups, joint programs, transfer of knowledge and cooperation in the field of entrepreneurship and innovation.
