Centre Kosovo Innovates
Meanwhile, the Business Start-Up Centre in Kosovo became a fully local legal entity when major institutions in the field of economic development joined its board. Simultaneously it opened the doors of its new School of Entrepreneurship. The School is dedicated to the development of entrepreneurs, entrepreneurial leaders and innovative thinkers who wish to develop their essential skills to open their own businesses.
In order to broaden the School’s reach throughout Kosovo, the centre opened field offices in 3 more cities and organised trainings in enclaves.
