2021

Abstract

Firm growth and sustainability are difficult to be achieved in the early years for most start- ups, so supporting tech start-ups development is recognized as crucial part of innovation policies. Access to markets, human capital and finance are most important for the growth of entrepreneurial companies. Moreover, boosting entrepreneurs` human capital and promoting their companies to attract international venture capitalist players are key drivers to increase and sustain their growth potential and success. UK-Albania Tech Hub is a programme launched since 2017, implemented by the British Embassy in Tirana focusing on supporting Albania and the UK partnership in the technology sector. The programme aims at supporting entrepreneurship skills in Albania by boosting tech start-ups and creating opportunities to do business with the UK and the global market. This research focusses on analysing and assessing the contribution this three-year programme has had on tech start-ups development and globalisation in Albania.
