In the city of Prishtina, Kosovo, the stage was set for an extraordinary event - the kickoff of GIST Innovate the Balkans. The week-long in-person training provided the perfect opportunity to connect, learn, and grow as we prepared to embark on a transformative nine-week journey of customer discovery.
