On 31 October, all eyes turned to Zero City Lab Demo Day, a celebration of innovation & sustainability where companies and start-ups, presented their ideas on reducing urban waste and promoting circular economy practices across Korca, Pogradec, and Prrenjas.



From biodegradable products to zero-waste restaurants, these are the stories redefining how Albania tackles urban waste and builds greener and cleaner communities.



11 businesses from sectors such as agri-processing, tourism, wood processing, and the circular economy presented innovative solutions for a greener and more sustainable development.

Following impressive presentations, 6 businesses were selected to move forward to the next phase:
– Thomas Enkelana
– Ekoprod
– Gjelbërimi
– M2 Furniture
– Back2Value Lab
– Pam Plast
Congratulations to all the businesses for their high-quality ideas and remarkable presentations!
