The entrepreneurial ecocsystem in Albania

Albanian entrepreneurial ecosystem is in an early stage of development. A solid foundation is being built by lively startup communities, primarily around co-working spaces in Tirana. Startup support services are almost exclusively funded by international donor funded projects with focus on idea and early-stages. Access to finance remains a challenge. For more mature and scaling startups, the ecosystem does not yet include adequate support mechanisms.


Competitive advantage: strong and coherent communities, including female founders networks.
