About
PROEKSPORT ALBANIA Association offers access to a large and diversified industrial ecosystem for Horizon Europe Industry-related projects. Representing over 700 manufacturing factories and 65,000 employees, the association enables the involvement of industrial SMEs as end-users, pilot and demonstration sites, providing real production environments for testing, validation and deployment of innovative solutions.
We support consortium building by facilitating engagement with manufacturing companies across multiple industrial value chains, contributing to pilots, demonstrations, user validation, skills development activities and impact-driven dissemination. Our members are particularly suitable for projects focusing on digital transformation, Industry 4.0 technologies, workforce upskilling, process optimisation and sustainable industrial practices.
PROEKSPORT ALBANIA aims to participate in Horizon Europe projects as an industrial association, end-user representative and pilot facilitator, strengthening the practical relevance, scalability and exploitation potential of project results, while supporting the integration of widening country industries into European value chains.
