We are so happy to announce launching and opening call for applications for the new edition of the Young Innovators’ Program (YIP) 2024.
As you are already informed, the YIP is part of the Digital Skills Festival (DSF), supported by GIZ ITP Digital Transformation Centre (DTC), and is a joint undertaking between eight public and private universities and colleges in Kosovo aiming to promote entrepreneurship, innovation, and research among students and professors, as well as strengthen connections with the private sector and other relevant innovation ecosystem players.
This years’ edition will be focused on environmental and sustainable challenges to support faster green transition of our society, hence aiming at promoting innovation and solutions contributing to:
1. Recycling and upcycling of waste,
2. Digitalization of businesses to reduce waste, carbon emissions, and become environment friendly,
3. Fulfilling the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
Similar to last year, this years’ edition of the Program will take place during weekends at ITP Prizren, and will last until 25 May for the demoday during the Digital Skills Festival.
