The Albanian startup ecosystem is undergoing rapid transformation, with innovation and entrepreneurship at its core. However, many startups still lack adequate knowledge about Intellectual and Industrial Property (IP), which is crucial for protecting their ideas and branding as they grow. To address this gap, the IP4Startups program has been launched, aiming to empower Albanian startups by providing them with the tools and support necessary to effectively protect their intellectual property.

IP4Startups is a dedicated acceleration program implemented by the General Directorate of Industrial Property (GDIP) with support from the Albanian-Swiss Intellectual Property Project (ALSIP). The program is designed to help 10 Albanian startups reach their full potential by offering personalized support to register and protect their intellectual and industrial property assets. This initiative includes capacity building, free trademark registration, and the development of branding or rebranding packages, providing startups with a competitive edge in the market.

The program will run from September 15 to October 24, 2024, and will offer an intensive curriculum tailored to the specific needs of startups. This includes workshops, diagnostics, personalized reports, and mentoring sessions aimed at helping startups understand and implement effective IP strategies for sustainable growth.

What the Program Offers

Participants in the IP4Startups program will benefit from a comprehensive suite of services:

  • Workshops/Trainings: Startups will participate in workshops on branding, intellectual property, and related topics to enhance their understanding of IP protection.
  • Intellectual and Industrial Property Diagnostics: Utilizing WIPO IP diagnostics, startups will receive detailed assessments of their IP assets.
  • Personalized Reports: Startups will receive customized reports from GDIP, focusing on their branding strategy and IP assets.
  • Branding/Rebranding Packages: Each startup will receive personalized support to develop or refine their branding strategy.
  • Dedicated Mentoring Sessions: Program experts will provide one-on-one mentoring to guide startups through the IP landscape.
  • Trademark Registration: The program offers direct support for trademark registration, ensuring startups have robust legal protection.
  • Networking Opportunities: Participants will have access to networking events, connecting them with investors, mentors, and key players in the startup ecosystem.

  • Registered in Albania with a NIPT number.
  • Early stages of development (6 to 36 months old).

  • Innovative solutions incorporating new digital technologies.
  • Minimum Viable Product (MVP) or a demonstrable prototype.
