Western Balkan Startup Alliance

The Western Balkan Startup Alliance (WBSA) is a regional network of key startup ecosystem actors, including professional hubs, accelerators, and innovation-driven organizations across the Western Balkans. WBSA fosters collaboration, supports innovative entrepreneurs, and accelerates economic, social, and sustainable development through joint regional efforts. By promoting a unified regional voice, we connect startups, investors, and ecosystem builders while making the region more visible and attractive to international partners. WBSA serves as a trusted platform for knowledge exchange, policy advocacy, joint programs, and strategic partnerships that shape the future of innovation in the Western Balkans. Western Balkans Startup Alliance is supported by RECONOMY. RECONOMY is an inclusive and green economic development program of the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), implemented by HELVETAS. Western Balkans Startup Alliance previously was supported by ORF Foreign Trade - Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, commissioned by the German Government.
