Albania has a great potential of natural resources and human capital. What will make the difference in the years to come, in the maintenance of these resources and the dignified treatment of human capital, will be precisely the technology component. Through e-commerce, SMEs can open new paths of profits. Human capital, especially young people, can offer online services without having to emigrate.

The advancement of technology, so that it can contribute to the development and growth of Albanian businesses, as a result of the Albanian economy as a whole, requires investment and continuous training of human capital. FIAA's focus in the next 2 years will be, among other things, bringing together business forces to attract capital, in support of new technologies and innovation.
