On 8 January 2009 the founding assembly of BIZNESALBANIA took place in Hotel Tirana International. 28 sector and regional employers’ organizations decided to set-up a new Confederation of Employers of Albania.

The founding assembly was prepared by a workgroup chaired by Mr. Luigj Aleksi, president of the Albanian Construction Association.

The assembly mandated the workgroup with the formalities for the registration of the new Confederation.

It’s the ambition of the new confederation to become the main interlocutor of the government and the trade unions on behalf of the employers and business of Albania. BIZNESALBANIA wants also to be closely informed and prepared for the implementation of the Stability and Accession Agreement with the EU.
