Five innovative final projects by employees of BALFIN Group, ACREM | Part of BALFIN GROUP, and Balfin Development kept attendees engaged at the grand finale of the Balfin Innovation Summit yesterday. The event culminated from an extensive five-month innovation-based program aimed at developing and rewarding projects that pitch innovative startups and optimize processes within BALFIN Group and its companies. This year's main theme, “Unconventional Thinking,” was chosen to better express the Group's innovative values and to challenge the status quo, fostering a positive impact and environment, in this case for our employees. The jury, composed of Diana Sokoli, Vice President for Retail; Steven Grunerud, Vice President for Strategy and Development; and Csaba Toth, Vice President for Asset Management, awarded “Inspire Trip” as this sixth edition’s innovative project with the greatest impact. This project not only delivers economic value in the shortest time but also reflects the Group's investment in human resources. The Balfin Innovation Summit has previously seen ideas successfully implemented in the real estate sector, as well as in construction and shopping centers. Today, this program symbolizes the combination of more than three decades of professional experience and innovation as a fundamental value of BALFIN Group. #wearebalfin #bis2024 #bis #balfingroup #UnconventionalThinking

Establishing Mane Foundation enabled us to support efforts that enrich artistic and cultural activities, preserve heritage, and familiarize young people with artistic values. This dedication made it possible for thirty-three Albanian musicians to perform at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall. The symphonic orchestra accompanied Greek singer Konstantinos Argiros and was praised for its talent and professionalism. This debut at the Hall will be remembered as we continue to #support arts and culture in the countries where we are present.
