AI Albania joins the Western Balkan Startup Alliance
AI Albania joins WBSA to connect regional founders and support practical AI use across the Western Balkans.
AI Albania has joined the Western Balkan Startup Alliance (WBSA), a regional network that connects organizations and founders working to grow the startup scene across the Western Balkans. This membership reflects our commitment to support startups that apply AI in clear, useful ways.
What this membership means
Through WBSA, AI Albania will:
- Work with peers across the region to support founders using AI and digital tools
- Share knowledge from Albania and bring back lessons from other Western Balkan hubs
- Join joint programs and activities that help startups grow and scale across borders
The onboarding call showed strong energy and a shared goal: build a regional startup community that is more connected and more resilient.
Powered by regional support
This alliance is backed by RECONOMY, a regional inclusive and green economic development program of the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), implemented by HELVETAS Swiss Intercooperation in partnership with WBSA and others in the Eastern Partnership and the Western Balkans.
For AI Albania, this support opens new space to link AI expertise with startup needs in a practical way.
