Entrepreneurship in Albania has experienced an impressive growth in recent years and still has a lot of potential. In order to fully tap this potential, the government has been trying to promote entrepreneurship among the Albanian youth. Recent studies of the European Union and the International Labor Organization have come to conclusions that small and medium enterprises in all sectors of the economy often lack the level of technical understanding, internal capabilities and support network necessary to adopt, manage and create solutions and innovations, which are needed to increase sales and to compete in regional and global markets. Protik ICT resource Center\u2019s goals are: to promote innovation and entrepreneurship, to provide ICT entrepreneurs with access to modern technology and know-how, and to serve as an information and networking hub. Protik aims to drive youth entrepreneurship in Albania and is proud to host the Startup Weekend event in Tirana and to support this global movement on a local level. The event will serve as a guide to the Albanian startup ecosystem, and work towards building an entrepreneurial culture through information sharing and educational events. \u00a0<\/strong> Startup Weekend<\/strong><\/p>\n
