ACT NOW 2025 is an exclusive event that brings together leaders in technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship. The event will be graced by the presence of representatives and speakers from renowned global tech companies such as Microsoft, Dell, Oracle, alongside innovative startups, investors, successful entrepreneurs, and key institutional figures who share the same vision as this platform — with more to be revealed soon.

Scheduled to take place in Tirana this May, ACT NOW 2025 promises to be a landmark conference, laying the foundation for an annual journey focused on establishing Albania as a hub of innovation and technology. The event aims to foster cross-border collaboration among leaders from Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and beyond.

The event will kick off on May 29 with an exclusive networking evening—an invitation-only gathering to set the tone for the days to come.

The main conference on May 30 will feature a diverse program, including topics such as:

• “Quantum-Ready World”

• “Digital Trust”

• “Startups & Scaleups”

These themes will be explored through keynote speeches by global and regional experts, representatives of influential tech companies, expert panels, workshops, challenges, awards, and a series of curated networking events for visionaries and changemakers.

ACT NOW 2025 will serve as a platform to discuss emerging technologies, innovation, digital transformation, artificial intelligence, startup growth, and Albania’s pathway toward a digital future.

For cybersecurity enthusiasts, the event will include the Cyber Drill Challenge—a dynamic and thrilling competition designed to test participants’ skills in defending the digital world. This challenge will engage professionals, students, and cybersecurity enthusiasts in real-time strategic exercises with advanced cyber scenarios.

The conference will culminate in an exclusive awards ceremony honoring the most impactful and innovative projects and businesses from Albania and the Diaspora. Finalists will be selected by the ACT NOW 2025 jury, and the recipient of the ACT NOW Grand Prize will be awarded €50,000 for the most innovative project. Additionally, awards will be presented to the most original youth project and the winning team of the Cyber Drill Challenge.

On May 31, ACT NOW 2025 will conclude with a press conference, highlighting key achievements, memorable moments, and the anticipated impact of the event on Albania’s innovation and technology ecosystem. It will also set the stage for future opportunities and strong regional collaborations.

ACT NOW is not just a conference—it’s a movement to place our region firmly on the global technology map.
