Since 2010 the school started implementing entrepreneurship tools and mindset inside the economic and project management lessons. From this time on a “business plan competition” was organized inside the school where the winning team was representing Albania in european entrepreneurship competitions like „jugend innovativ“ or the „Youthstart European Entrepreneurship Award“. Multipliers spreaded the idea and now the Austrian School is taking part every year at the “next generation entrepreneurship Award & Summit“ and the “RYAS sustainability Award”. There is also based an Innovation Hub inside the Austrian school and 25 pupils are participating in organizing events, workshops and Erasmus+ projects.
