EU4Innovation Supporting start-ups, innovation ecosystem and investments Contract related to: EU4Innovation Supporting start-ups, innovation ecosystem and investments - The Action supports Albania to accelerate the transformation to a more innovation-driven and knowledge-based economy embracing the opportunities from the green and digital transition, unlocking its human capital and entrepreneurial potential and thereby increasing its competitiveness.&nbsp;The Albanian startup and innovation ecosystem is nascent and ranks among the lowest entrepreneurial ecosystems in Europe. The continued pre-COVID GDP growth did not lead to increased competitiveness. Entrepreneurial skills in Albania remain an issue, further exacerbated by brain drain. Several factors and obstacles have hampered the emergence of new startups and the growth of established ones. This Action provides a policy-driven response to build a sound startup and innovation ecosystem in the Albanian economy. The EU shall add value to the Action by transferring knowledge and experience on the implementation of the Quadruple Helix model. &nbsp;The Action is expected to lay the foundation for a system change in the business environment, innovation ecosystem and investment climate. It will build on smart specialisation to strengthen research, technological development and innovation and support progress towards a knowledge-based society in alignment with the European Green Deal[1] in four areas: 1) Capacity development addressing the startup and innovation ecosystem, 2) Improved access to finance for startups and Innovation Support Organisations through grants, 3) The promotion and implementation of the Quadruple Helix approach, and 4) The promotion of Albania as a startup and innovation ecosystem and destination for international and domestic innovators and entrepreneurs. The Action has been designed to maximise sustainability and to enhance the ownership by the innovation ecosystem stakeholders. It builds on understanding of the Albanian innovation ecosystem and the positive results achieved by the first phase of EU for Innovation (IPA 2017).  [1] COM(2019) 640 final
