On February 1st Ambassador Delawie spoke at the launch of a new partnership between USAID/Kosovo and Gjirafa, the largest Albanian-language online search engine.

The Gjirafa team has been working to create a technology incubator that will facilitate the development of the regional internet economy and drive innovation and economic growth in Kosovo. Toward that end, Gjirafa’s stakeholders and investors are working together to invest in high-potential companies, startups, projects and innovative ideas and technologies.

A USAID grant is now helping Gjirafa to accelerate and maximize their support to these new ideas and startups.
