In light of the Global Entrepreneurship Week 2023, the Albanian Development Fund, and the Ministry of Entrepreneurship and Business Climate have been cooperating and engaging closely with the main focus being the development of regions and areas with development potential.

The Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW Albania 2023) focuses on unfolding the potential of creative industries, diversifying alternative financing and strengthening the supporting ecosystem.

Throughout this week, several meetings and visits have been held in Korçë, Shkodër, Vlorë and Valias, with representatives of the ecosystem to discuss the support that the Albanian Government has offered to new enterprises and what are their future challenges and expectations. The ADF presented its initiative to build the so called “Development Centers” in each region, where technology, innovation and new ideas will be integrated, in accordance with the anticipated development for each region. These centers will mostly serve as a "hubfor the local entrepreneurial community.

The presentation of the Regional Development and Cohesion platform and projects that strengthen local entrepreneurship, aim to bring about fundamental changes in the community, promoting the success stories of local businesses and at the same time attracting different investors.

The role of the Albanian Development Fund as an integrator is to create synergy and cooperation, in order to achieve positive and sustainable changes. While human well-being depends on the harmonious interaction and balance between the dimensions of life's reality (economy, environment, society, governance, and man), a "compelling new story" is emerging on how to design a desirable future for regions and areas of Albania.

Development regions, which are based on endogenous capacities and resources, are separate life systems and at the same time they are complementary to each other.

The interweaving of elements of life dimensions, relying on inter- and intra-regional synergy, is replicated and scattered in the territory, creating a functional profile.

The inclusive approach to Global Entrepreneurship Week 2023 serves as the leading path to innovation and economic development. Development as a whole, including Regional Development, is the product of the functioning of a dynamic and complex system, acting as a whole and aiming for growth and transformation.
