“Albania Future Now” – Albania at VivaTech 2025 in Paris

Under the theme “Albania Future Now”, Albania presented itself from June 11 to 14 at VivaTech 2025 – Europe’s largest trade fair for cutting-edge technologies, innovative companies, and startups.

With its participation, Albania reaffirmed its ambition to be an active player in the global innovation landscape. The initiative is part of the “Innovation Now” campaign, supported by EU4Innovation and the Albanian Ministry of Economy, Culture, and Innovation, aiming to increase the visibility of the country’s innovation ecosystem both domestically and internationally. Four key players in Albania’s innovation and economic development scene were represented: the technology parks Durana Tech and TEDA Tirana, the Albanian Investment Corporation (AIC), and the Investment Agency AIDA.

In his speech, Minister of Economy Blendi Gonxhja emphasized that Albania is currently in an excellent position to attract foreign investment.
“We offer integrated structures, competitive technology parks and free trade zones, along with full support from AIDA for international investors,” Gonxhja said.
Delina Ibrahimaj, State Minister for Entrepreneurship and Business Climate, also highlighted Albania’s strong commitment to supporting young talent and positioning itself as an attractive destination for global investors. Arbian Mazniku, Minister for Local Governance, was also present at the event.

Albania used the VivaTech 2025 stage not only to present national projects, but also to forge new partnerships with international investors, startups, and technology leaders.
