The project “Start-Up Prizreni: Inspire, Train, Build the Future” was developed by ITI Pro Kosova as a structured initiative to support young people in Prizren and beyond on their path toward entrepreneurship, innovation, and professional development. The project aims to create a supportive environment where young people with ideas and potential can strengthen their capacities, improve practical skills, and build stronger foundations for the creation or advancement of their initiatives.
Supported by the Directorate of Tourism and Economic Development of the Municipality of Prizren, this project represents a concrete step toward empowering a new generation of local innovators and entrepreneurs. Through an integrated approach, the project combines training, bootcamp activities, mentoring, and professional networking, ensuring that participants gain not only theoretical knowledge but also practical guidance and exposure to real market opportunities.
Within the framework of the project, spaces have been created for meetings with businesses, B2B networking sessions, idea presentations, and connections with local and international partners. These activities aim to strengthen young people’s confidence, develop entrepreneurial thinking, and create concrete bridges between youth, institutions, businesses, and economic development actors.
The project is particularly important for the community because it directly contributes to creating better conditions for the development of new ideas, increasing youth initiative, and promoting a culture of innovation and self-employment. For ITI Pro Kosova, “Start-Up Prizreni” is a project with direct impact on local development, aiming to transform youth potential into structured ideas, cooperation networks, and real future opportunities.
