Message from the Executive Director<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dear Members and Partners,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we enter the third month of 2026, we are pleased to share that the year has already begun on a strong and dynamic note for KDWV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent weeks, I have continued visiting our member companies to strengthen direct engagement and better understand your priorities and business needs. While I have had the opportunity to meet many of you, I look forward to connecting with the remaining members throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KDWV has established the Economic Action Committee with HWK Stuttgart, creating a new platform for structured cooperation between Kosovo and Stuttgart, and recently hosted a Business After Hours networking event to further strengthen our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A key highlight was the German business delegation’s visit to Kosovo, focused on promoting ITP Prizren and enhancing bilateral business links. German companies met with Kosovar businesses, visited local enterprises, and explored concrete cooperation opportunities. Future delegations will place even stronger emphasis on direct engagement with our members. KDWV remains committed to representing your interests, fostering partnerships, and delivering tangible value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please also save the date for the German-Kosovar Economic Forum on 28-29 October, one of our key milestones this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for your continued trust and collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
