Virtual Connectors hosts monthly online sessions connecting participants from Berlin, Albania, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, creating a platform for sharing experiences, startup success stories, and insights on market access.

The Ecosystem Connectors project aims to build bridges between European startup ecosystems, fostering stronger economic integration through partnerships, knowledge exchange, and resource-sharing among entrepreneurs and key stakeholders.

The project’s first edition focuses on linking Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Berlin, supported by the Berlin Senate Department for Economic Affairs, Energy and Public Enterprises and the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). It is implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH through the Bund-Länder-Programm (BLP) in collaboration with the non-profit organization enpact.

In Albania, the project is supported by EU4Innovation, while in Bosnia and Herzegovina, it is backed by the Sustainable Economic Development and Employment Promotion (SEDEP) project.
