Our principles What guides our work Balkan AI Regional startups, policy, education, and institutions across the Balkans. World AI Global AI news moves fast, but it is not always explained through the context of this region. Original reports, surveys, and data-led stories. AI tools Practical guides, explainers, and use cases. Regulation, responsible AI, and public-sector adoption. Ecosystem insights Startups, innovation, and community activity in the region. Our purpose Why AI Balkans exists The Balkans has talent, ambition, and growing innovation — but the region’s AI story is fragmented. Important developments often stay local. Research does not always reach the public. Global AI news moves fast, but it is not always explained through the context of this region. AI Balkans was created to close that gap. Our role is to track what is happening, explain why it matters, and connect regional developments with the global AI conversation.
