2024 has been a remarkable journey for entrepreneurship and innovation in Albania. From turning challenges into opportunities to creating new ideas that drive the market forward, individuals and businesses are demonstrating the power of vision, passion, and commitment. To celebrate these achievements, Business Magazine and AlbaniaTech are introducing “Business Leaders 2024” – an initiative that honors those who are building the future of our economy and community. With categories including “Entrepreneur of the Year,” “Businesswoman of the Year,” “Startup of the Year,” and “Influencer of the Year,” this competition offers the chance to nominate and recognize those who have made a difference this year. Anyone can voice their nominations, helping to acknowledge and inspire the next generations.
ENTREPRENEUR OF THE YEAR
In a digital world, what matters most for a business is how happy it makes its customers, how much value is placed on its work, how well-known its brand is, and how many people would recommend its services. This is revealed in the open competition by Business Magazine and AlbaniaTech, “Business Leaders 2024.” Entrepreneurship is the “engine” that keeps the economy of a country alive. Therefore, Business Magazine Albania is taking the initiative to recognize entrepreneurs who have managed to transform challenges into new opportunities this year, through your nominations!
BUSINESSWOMAN OF THE YEAR
This year has been full of challenges and achievements for Albanian women entrepreneurs, who have proven that courage, vision, and dedication are the keys to success in any industry. In a small market with high competition, they have managed not only to build sustainable businesses but also to inspire the community, making a tangible impact on the economy and society. For this reason, we have decided to add a separate category: “Businesswoman of the Year.” In this category, we honor women who have shown extraordinary leadership, launched innovative projects, created new jobs, and built brands that have become synonymous with success and quality.
Why is this new category important?
To recognize and appreciate women who have challenged traditional norms, paving the way for future generations of successful women in business. This category is a call to nominate women who make us proud and who deserve to be role models for all of us.
STARTUP OF THE YEAR
2024 has brought the launch of innovative ideas and unique services for our small country with unimaginable potential! This year, let’s choose the startup that has offered the best service, even though in the early stages of development, the most promising startup, the most engaged one, or the one you believe will be the next Albanian “unicorn.”
INFLUENCER OF THE YEAR
In the world of social networks and digital communication, there is one person who has captured your attention and earned your admiration. Is it a tech enthusiast, a fashion icon, or an inspiration in the business world? Nominate the influencer who is more than just a well-known face – they are a leader, a trendsetter, and an integral part of daily life. Share with us what makes them stand out from the rest!
Let’s make 2024 another great year for Albania and recognize what makes this country so special!
