The Green Business Competition is an event organized by Partners Albania since 2012, aiming to stimulate and encourage innovation for green business ideas at the local level. It explores the role of philanthropy in engaging local communities to generate business ideas based on utilizing local resources, reviving production traditions, and local markets with an environmentally friendly approach.
By supporting innovative initiatives that promote sustainable local economic development, the competition aims to contribute significantly to building a prosperous, competitive, and peaceful Balkan region, aligned with the 7 Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda. Over the two days of the competition, finalists selected from non-profit organizations, social enterprises, small local businesses, and individuals presented their ideas before an independent jury of experts in economics, education, and business development. Here are the winners of the Green Business Competition for 2024:
