One of the problems our country is facing is "brain drain". Delina Ibrahimaj, minister for entrepreneurship and business climate, said that this is a challenge that other developing countries like Albania have encountered, but in A2 Business she has revealed some points of the plan that the Albanian government has to prevent the emigration of young people towards EU countries and not only.
One of them, Ibrahimaj revealed, is encouraging the opening of businesses on their part. According to the minister, this will be done through the development of start-ups, which will be followed by institutions not only at the beginning, but throughout the cycle as a business.
Invited to A2 CNN, Ibrahimaj revealed all the details of how this new initiative will work.
"We have taken some measures to reduce brain migration, we find it inevitable to compete with European countries for jobs, it is a challenge, but one that can be overcome, wages are part of the solution, well-being and income per capita, is one part, the other part and what we will aim for is the opportunity that young men and women have in Albania, promoting the entrepreneurial incentive. We are working on a strategy that will develop the start-up ecosystem, not only as an idea and a starting point, but following them throughout their cycle, setting up some private or state institutions for their financing, access to finance is one of the main issues that a small business has and we will work to set up this structure, so that there are financing channels not only in banks, so the opportunity for young people to open their own business by developing capacity and infrastructure, is a job that will give results in the future", said Ibrahimaj.
