The two-day Plug and Play Tirana Expo 2026 marks the conclusion of the second accelerator programme in Albania. The event aims to bridge the gap between the Western Balkans startup ecosystem and international capital, corporate partners, and global markets.
The event features pitches from the second cohort of the accelerator. Industry tracks cover sectors including HealthTech, ConTech, logistics, e-commerce, mobility, DeepTech, GovTech, and AI-powered B2B SaaS solutions.
Participants include representatives from venture capital firms such as Storm Ventures, Vitosha Venture Partners, Elevator Ventures, and Earlybird. Key speakers include Jeff Burton of Electronic Arts and Fatos Ismali from Microsoft.
The programme includes dedicated investor sessions, panel discussions on corporate innovation, and networking opportunities. The initiative is supported by the Albanian-American Development Foundation, IN Groupe, and the Municipality of Tirana.
