The Albanian-American Development Foundation (AADF) is committed to advancing Albania’s sustainable development through strategic and transformative initiatives. Established in 2009 as a non-profit organization with support from USAID and the U.S. government, AADF aims to create opportunities and empower communities by investing in key sectors, including education, leadership, entrepreneurship, cultural heritage, and eco-tourism. From revitalizing historic landmarks to fostering innovation, empowering local professionals, and entrepreneurial growth, AADF’s initiatives are driven by a steadfast commitment to Albania’s social and economic progress based on the fundamental values of transparency and meritocracy. The Pyramid of Tirana represents a key milestone in AADF’s mission—not only as a symbol of Albania’s past but also as a dynamic hub for innovation and creativity, where the country’s brightest minds will shape a more prosperous future. This landmark will serve as the home for various education and technology initiatives, reinforcing AADF’s long-term vision. Supporting 42 Tirana, part of the Pyramid of Tirana, aligns seamlessly with AADF’s strategic focus on enhancing ICT education and strengthening Albania’s innovation ecosystem.
