This brochure is prepared by Partners Albania for Change and Development. It showcases social enterprises that have received support over the years from the Green Businesses Competition in Albania.
The Green Businesses Competition organized by Partners Albania since 2012, aims to stimulate and encourage innovation for green business ideas at the local level and explores the role of philanthropy in engaging local communities to generate green business ideas that utilize local resources and revitalize disappearing traditional production chains and community-based markets.
During the competition, winners are chosen from a pool of finalists who represent diverse entities including non-profit organizations, social enterprises, small business ventures, and individuals. The participants compete in two primary categories based on their level of development:
LOT 1: Business Ideas at Conceptual Stage
LOT 2: Businesses in Pre-Seed Stage.
At the national level, three winners automatically advance to the regional “Balkan Green Ideas” Competition. They join the winners from the national competitions in Kosovo, Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Greece.
