The entrepreneurial ecosystem in Kosovo
The entrepreneurial ecosystem in Kosovo is still in an early stage of development, lacking dynamism and plurality. That said, talent exists and there is a significant group of startups that are scaling rapidly. Startup founder communities are now emerging offering peer learning and support. Access to private capital is very limited, which makes startups dependent on their own resources or donor-funded projects to grow.
Competitive advantage: bootstrapping culture, high level of resourcefulness and tech talent.
