What is the status of the Entrepreneurial Ecosystem in Albania? This is the question that EU for Innovation wants to elaborate on by updating the “Gap Analysis: Entrepreneurial Ecosystem in Albania”. In this framework, expert Eileen Trenkmann and EU for Innovation team members are meeting with ecosystem players and stakeholders such as universities, innovation support organisations, government, start-ups, trying to understand the dynamics in the field of entrepreneurship and innovation outside Tirana.
On Monday, we met with representatives of the Faculty of Economics at Universiteti i Shkodrës “Luigj Gurakuqi”, representatives of Universiteti “Aleksander Moisiu” Durres, and with GO2 – an NGO engaged in consulting start-ups & SMEs in the sector of tourism and women initiators of social businesses.
The meetings will continue this week in other cities, such as Vlora, Elbasan, Korça, etc.
The overall purpose of the survey/gap analysis is to design recommendations that the “EU for Innovation” project could build upon and implement in the upcoming year.
