Arta Shehu Zaimi, the co-founder of Labbox and jCoders Academy, teaches kids as young as 8 the basics of computer coding and robotics. Today, she five centers in Kosovo with more than 1,000 students.
Rron Cena’s company, Formon, manufactures desktop plug-and-play 3D printers and sells them for only €599 (about NIS 2,400). And Platforma Akademia — founded by entrepreneurs Besart Kunushevci and Dorant Gashi — is a software program that uses algorithms to detect plagiarism in academic paper across multiple languages.
All these successful startups have one thing in common: they all began life at the Innovation Centre Kosovo (ICK) — a high-tech complex that would seem more at home in Rehovot or Herzliyya than in the capital of a tiny, struggling Balkan country known more for past wars and ethnic strife.
