Inno-Tech Camp Tirana

About the project

Inno-Tech Camp Tirana “Sprint Up” was a 3-day activity designed to help all start-ups (new companies) by youngsters aged 18-25 that use technology and innovation in their solutions, to deepen their knowledge and understanding of a more sustainable business, as well as to improve and strengthen the presentation of their business in opportunities to generate interest, funds and various investors. The business ideas had to be consolidated in the field of technology, or already with prototype companies that have been established within the last 3 (three) years. The young entrepreneurs could be from any city in Albania.

The project is implemented by CBTL (Center for Business, Technology and Leadership), with the support of the Embassy of the United States of America (USA), the American Corner (American Corner), as well as in partnership with Innovate Academy Albania.

The activity model has been adapted from successful models of similar activities in Silicon Valley.

Inno-Tech Camp Tirana took place from 01-09 March 2019.

Inno-Tech Camp Tirana is one of my very dearest projects to manage; Youngsters who are willing to change their own status-quo for a better future, willing to learn and listen and develop their ideas regardless of their level of knowledge and understanding of business. They are brave and that’s probably the greatest characteristic they need at the moment.
