24th Economic Forum (2014) Krynica-Zdrój, Poland 2-4th September 2014

The Post-Crisis World: Time for New Leaders

The beginning of the twenty-first century is a period of economic and social changes of unprecedented scale, dynamics and complexity. It is expected that, thanks to the internet and wireless technologies the future changes shall be made faster. The cycles will be shorter and the environment will be more diverse. The exponential growth of the available multiplicity and quality of products, services and information signify disappearance of geographical, economic and technological barriers. Economic growth is less and less driven by investments in fixed assets, and more and more by investing in intellectual, organizational sources and reputation, which are more difficult to measure but also more difficult to manage.

In a situation where conditions change enough to lead to changes in operating rules, beliefs and patterns – existing potentials, capabilities and competitive advantages diminish in importance. This requires the development of new rules and standards, new attitudes and ways of doing things, creating new leaders open to innovation and rapidly changing economic environment that create tracks for post-crisis global business.

Panairi Nderkombetar NDERTIME SHQIPERIA 2014

Mesazh Optimist për të ardhmen & Bashkëpunimin Tregtar!

Panairi Ndërkombëtar NDËRTIME SHQIPËRIA 2013 përfundoi me përshtypje pozitive, partneritete tregtare dhe optimizëm për marrëveshje të ardhshme.

Gama e gjerë dhe cilësia e lartë e produkteve të ekspozuara nga 4 vende të ndryshme, Greqia, Shqipëria, Kosova dhe Italia, plotësuan kërkesat e vizitorëve të cilët kishin mundësinë për të filluar bashkëpunime të reja dhe marrëveshje tregtare me ekspozuesit.

Vizitorët vinin, përvec Shqipërisë dhe Greqisë, nga Kosova, Mal i Zi dhe Shkupi, duke arritur me këtë mënyrë, objektivin, që Panairi të përbëjë qendrën e Ballkanit Perëndimor në sektorin e ndërtimit.

Panairin e përuroi z. Edmond Haxhinasto, Zëvendëskryeminister dhe Minister i Ekonomisë, Tregtisë dhe Energjetikës, i cili vizitoi të gjitha kompanitë pjesëmarrëse me një interes të vecantë për prodhimet, ndërsa po largohej e komentoi Panairin shumë pozitivisht si edhe rëndësinë e tij për zgjerimin e bashkëpunimit në mes të Greqisë – Shqipëri.

Një spot shumë i goditur, i cili u transmetuar në stacionin numër një televiziv të Shqipërise, formoi bazën e programit reklamues, i cili është plotësuar nga tabela të jashtme në arteriet kryesore të segmenteve rrugore.

Një interes shumë i vecantë ishte ai i vizitorëve sidomos nga Shqipëria dhe Kosova për produkte dhe aplikime të energjisë së gjelbër (panele diellore për përdorim shtepiak dhe profesional, parqe eolike, gjeotermale).

Paralelisht me Panairin u organizua edhe konferenca me temë «Infrastruktura dhe Energjia» me folës Ministrin e Punëve Publike, Drejtorin e Përgjithshëm të TAP Shqipërisë dhe kryetarët e Shoqatave te kompanive të Energjisë në Shqipëri si edhe te Kosovës, si dhe me pjesëmarrjen e shkencëtarëve të përzgjedhur dhe të specializuar.

Publicitet i madh për Panairin u sigurua nga mediat shqiptare (TV dhe shtypi). Stacionet më të mëdha televizive pregatiten një reportazh nga Panairi në lajmet kryesore të mbrëmjes, ndërkohë të shumtë ishin edhe artikujt në shtypin dhe median elektronike.

Ju ftojme te merrni pjese ne PANAIRIN e 3te NDERTIME i cili do te organizohet ne 28-30 Mars 2014 ne Pallatin e Kongreseve ne Tirane.

In the context of the dynamic climate changes and continuously rising prices of conventional energy sources, now more than ever a necessity of urgent upgrade of the global energy systems with aim to make ready it for meeting the numerous future challenges comes to the fore. A Report of the International Energy Agency emphasizes that the renewables as the fastest-growing power generation sector will make up almost a quarter of the global power mix by 2018 and they will become more competitive than the nuclear and coal power energy.  The forecast for growth of 40 % over the next five years sounds very optimistic.

The improving of the energy efficiency and green energy are key priorities in the policies of the countries of South-East Europe, which will ensure energy independence, reducing the negative impact on the human health and environment.

The Region features a great hydropower potential of which only 40% is used. According to experts if it is utilized, the countries can meet 100% of their energy needs with hydropower. South-East Europe has also a good geothermal energy prospects and excellent solar radiation. Well-developed agriculture and forestry industries, availability of organic waste are a prerequisite for the promotion of bioenergy.

Significant energy saving can be achieved by investing in renovations of the buildings and implementation of ‘Nearly Zero-Energy Building’ conception.
