The students of “Aleksandër Moisiu” University in Durrës welcomed the President of BALFIN Group, Samir Mane, for an open discussion to share his success model and ideas about the future of the economy, tourism, and entrepreneurship in Albania.

Invited by the students and the business faculty of this university, the President of BALFIN Group emphasized the importance of youth engagement in entrepreneurship, particularly in tourism, as well as the collaboration between universities and businesses. “I invite students to look at international business models related to tourism. It is the future and there are many opportunities to do business, especially for young people who can adapt more easily to new ideas. Universities should adapt their curricula and increase the number of subjects related to tourism. I always support young people who want to engage in entrepreneurship. Young people should be more courageous so that together we can create the conditions for the future we all want here in our country,” Samir Mane told the students.

The Dean of the Business Faculty at this university, Shkëlqim Fortuzi, praised the investments of BALFIN Group as a contribution not only to overall economic growth but particularly to the employment of young people in Albania. Expressing gratitude for this open discussion, Dean Fortuzi asked the President of BALFIN Group for more investments in Durrës, which would highlight the city’s cultural and touristic potential as well as benefit its students.

Mane discussed with the students the opportunities they have through the B4Students program, supported by the Mane Foundation for the education and potential growth of young people. “Among you here, I am convinced that there are some future entrepreneurs with exceptional potential,” Samir Mane told the students. “You must dare, work hard for your dream, and you will have me and the BALFIN Group supporting your ideas so that together we can create the conditions for the future we all want here in our country.”

Asked about BALFIN Group’s investments in Europe, the USA, and Canada, Mane shared with the students the mission for a corporation with international standards and strong local expertise. This meeting of the President of BALFIN Group at Durrës University follows a series of meetings as a guest at the University of Tirana, University of Vlora, University of Korça, TBU, Epoka University, UET, University of Prishtina, and UBT, focusing on the future of entrepreneurship and the potential of young people for a positive economic perspective.
