Economy and Innovation Minister Delina Ibrahimaj attended a consultative workshop with residents of “Durana Tech Park” and representatives of territorial development institutions. The workshop focused on the new phase of the tech park’s development.

Ibrahimaj said “Durana Tech Park” lies at the heart of the government’s vision for economic transformation through innovation, technology, and support for startups. She highlighted that the park is moving from a virtual model to physical infrastructure, creating optimal conditions for developing high-value products and services.

The minister stressed that the Albanian economy is at a crucial point. Key priorities include increasing competitiveness, boosting exports of high-value products, and raising productivity through investment in innovation, especially in the private sector.

Currently, “Durana Tech Park” hosts 55 residents, with 25 more expected to join. Ibrahimaj confirmed the government’s commitment to continue investing in the strategic project and to strengthen cooperation between the government, academia, territorial development institutions, and the startup community.

The workshop focused on structuring the physical phase of the park to create a functional and sustainable ecosystem that supports innovation and the country’s economic policies.

Ibrahimaj also announced that a new call for startup grants will open next week, further strengthening the “Durana Tech Park” community.

The workshop served as a platform for collaboration and consultation to plan the next steps in consolidating the park as a center for innovation and technological development in Albania.
