DIG-4K

About Us

The Digital Innovation Gateway for Kosovo (DIG-4K) is a transformative initiative dedicated to accelerating Kosovo’s digital transformation and positioning the country as a regional hub for innovation and technological development. Led by the Innovation and Training Park (ITP) Prizren, the project operates with a consortium of seven members from private & public sector, and academia. The initiative is co-financed by the European Commission through the European Digital Innovation Hubs Network and the Government of Kosovo, Ministry of Economy.


DIG-4K brings together a dynamic consortium of partners from the private sector, public institutions, academia, and civil society. The initiative is designed to empower a wide range of stakeholders – including micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), startups, public entities, industry associations, educational institutions, CSOs, and rural communities. Through this inclusive approach, DIG-4K fosters entrepreneurship, promotes technology adoption, and enhances digital skills across the country.


Focusing on strategic sectors such as e-commerce, fintech, healthcare, education, and agriculture, DIG-4K is playing a key role in shaping Kosovo’s digital future and aligning with broader national, regional, and EU integration goals.
