According to Deputy Minister Mehmeti, this program marked the conclusion of an important cycle for participating startups, giving them the opportunity to present their progress, validate ideas, and create direct connections with investors, partners, and key ecosystem stakeholders.
He further added that together with the GIZ representative, Hans Juergen Cassens, the Makerspace Innovation Center representative, Enis Qafëleshi, as well as numerous donors and supporters, we had the opportunity to listen closely to the experiences, challenges and ambitions of the young entrepreneurs present.
He also emphasized that through our commitment as a Minister and as a Government, we are constantly working to create concrete support mechanisms, starting from financing programs, to schemes for small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as investments in innovation and digitalization.
A special focus, according to the Deputy Minister, for us remains the empowerment of young people and women in entrepreneurship, by increasing access to financing and creating more opportunities for innovative ideas to connect with the market and transform into sustainable businesses.
He added that this program is strong evidence that cooperation between public institutions, international partners and local actors brings concrete and measurable results, assessing that only through this cooperation can we build trust, real opportunities and a clear vision for the economic future of our country.
Deputy Minister Mehmeti encouraged all young people to continue with courage, dedication and faith in their ideas and at the same time announced that our institutions will always be by their side, to turn every good idea into a success story.
