CrazyTown team from Finland were in Tirana early October to conduct two preparatory workshops: one with representatives of industries/ businesses and the other with Universities, aiming at introducing to them the concept of hackathons as a powerful tool to mobilise resources and create value together; and then discussing and defining some possible challenges worth solving as themes for the hackathons. Among the preliminary hackathon themes identified during the workshops, there are: “Tirana Smart City”, “Sustainable tourism and experience economy” and “Digitisation of Albanian industry and business”.
