As part of the “Investor Support Days 2025” initiative, Albania’s Investment and Development Agency (AIDA) held a meeting today dedicated to American investors, in cooperation with the American Chamber of Commerce.

The roundtable brought together representatives of Albanian institutions and U.S. businesses. They discussed new investment opportunities in strategic sectors such as energy, tourism, technology, and professional services. Participants highlighted Albania’s market potential, simplified business procedures, and fully online services.

AIDA’s Executive Director, Laura Saro, stressed the importance of continuous dialogue with the private sector and confirmed the agency’s commitment to addressing investor concerns.

Deputy Finance Minister Andi Mehmeti outlined Albania’s competitive advantages, including alignment of legislation with the EU by 2027, economic stability, and support from the Western Balkans Growth Plan.

American business representatives offered recommendations to improve the investment climate. They called for stronger legal harmonization with the EU, greater transparency, more effective public consultations, firm action against corruption, and modernization of the business registration system.

The meeting was seen as an important step toward strengthening cooperation with the roughly 140 American companies operating in Albania and creating a more attractive environment for new investments.
