The startup “Kthema Gati” represented Albania at GEN-E Europe 2026, Europe's largest Entrepreneurship Festival, held in Riga, Latvia, from 7–9 July 2026.
Organized by JA Europe in collaboration with JA Latvia, GEN-E Europe brought together more than 1,000 young entrepreneurs, educators, business leaders, investors, and ecosystem partners from over 40 European countries. Throughout the three-day event, startups showcased their innovative ideas, participated in inspiring sessions and networking activities, and exchanged experiences with young entrepreneurs from across Europe.
Albania was represented in the University Level Startup category by “Kthema Gati”, the winning startup of the fifth edition of “Junior UP”, the startup incubation and acceleration program organized by Junior Achievement of Albania. During the festival, the team presented its solution for vehicle service management, enabling customers to coordinate the transportation of their vehicles to repair shops and monitor the entire servicing process without needing to be physically present.
Kthema Gati's participation in GEN-E Europe 2026 marked another important milestone in the startup's journey, from developing and refining its idea through mentorship in Albania to showcasing its innovation on the European stage.
Through its programs, Junior Achievement of Albania continues to empower young people by supporting them in transforming innovative ideas into successful ventures and creating opportunities to showcase their entrepreneurial potential at both national and international levels.
