Six new “made in the Western Balkans” digital products have been presented in Podgorica at the fourth Western Balkans Digital Summit. The creators of products making digital connections with organic food, agriculture, sales, health, transportation services, small businesses, and environment-friendly plastic are all winners of the second Balkathon, the annual regional competition organised by the Regional Cooperation Council (RCC) and funded by the European Union, with the aim of encouraging the creation of new digital solutions to the challenges of our daily lives.

Maja Handjiska Trendafilova, Head of the RCC Programme Department, said at the event: “We are very proud that the competition born out of a wish to help our region in times of pandemic resulted today in six great products that can be of use to the citizens and businesses in our region. I congratulate these young people and wish them all success in the placement of these products and in their future work.”

“I would also like to use this opportunity to invite all interested young people, start-ups, entrepreneurs, students, digital innovation hubs, scientific parks, universities, small and medium-sized enterprises, etc. from all the Western Balkan economies to join our third Balkathon next spring. Maybe your solution will be the winning one.”
