Another successful B2B delegation in Germany – Big things are about to come

During 26-29 November, STIKK has organized yet another B2B Delegation within its STIKK Export Promotion Service, this time in Nuremberg and Erlangen, Germany.

The first meeting started on 27th of November, during which the delegation visited ZOLLHOF Tech Incubator. The delegation has been looking forward to this meeting, as ZOLLHOF’s member companies have shown its eagerness to meet and greet with companies from Kosovo – and the possibilities of cooperation are endless. As a great addition to our B2B trip, ICK and ZOLLHOF, both as leading incubators in Kosovo and Germany, have signed a MoU, which focuses on supporting business & ecosystem development, community building & engagement, prepare exchange of expertise and community building.

The morning of 28th November the cooperation with NIK (Nuremberg Innovation Network) and the Department of Economic Affairs of the Municipality of Nuremberg, took place. We mainly focused on the cooperation with STIKK and ICK, and also on the benefits of the members of all these organisations. What is for certain is that the future for Nuremberg and Prishtina is promising.

On the last day of our STIKK #ExportPromotionService B2B delegation, we had the chance to meet with Medical Valley EMN and Health Hackers Erlangen as well as some companies that consider on collaborating with our outstanding company members. Collaboration will continue for Prishtina and Nuremberg, and we’re looking forward to our bright future in partnership.

The outcome of all these activities and meetings will be published soon.

KosICT 2018: yet another successful edition

The 7th edition of the Tech Festival KosICT has been concluded after two days full of activities.

What has been special about this year’s edition is that we have had more than 30 speakers, who have presented and discussed the present and future of technology, through topics such as: IoT, Smart Cities, 5G, AR/VR, Blockchain, SaaS, and FinTech. The Tech enthusiasts have had the opportunity for two days to meet-and-greet CEOs, investors and impressive speakers from all around the world.

As technology is developing in a fast pace and is getting more and more important throughout our everyday lives, KosICT brings the biggest topics and companies to Kosovo’s capital city. Throughout these years, KosICT welcomed more than 90 speakers from Google, LinkedIn, Ericsson, Apple, T-Mobile, Deutsche Telekom, and more than 6,000 participants.

We want to take the time to thank everyone who has supported us throughout the journey of #KosICT18. Without the support of every one of our partners, our event would not have been as successful. Thank you once again and we hope to meet for the next KosICT adventure!
