We are welcoming you to the most sophisticated and unique think-tank of Albanian intellectual minds abroad, i.e. the Intellectual Scientific Capital of Albania (iSCA). This is our Foundation’s initiative to identify, develop, network and promote the brand of Albanian intellectuals all over the world. As the only scientific body that connects, promotes and networks together the Albanian Intellectual and Scientific Capital  from all over the world, we know that this mission belongs to all of us. From USA to Australia, from UK to Russia, from Asia to Europe our scientific capital exceeds more than 2,000 scientists & researchers of Albanian origin from every discipline, sector and industry. And we are still growing! With more than 10,000 cumulative years of professional experience and over 20,000 years of cumulative academic research, we can firmly state that Knowledge is our new currency. The proper use of our knowledge can empower the entire country by bringing more innovation, economic development and inclusive growth. As we need these three things more than ever for Albania, let us make use of this amazing knowledge that we possess for the benefit of our Homeland.

We cannot accept Albania to remain the 83rd most innovative country in the world any longer! We need to step up! Science and knowledge are the only sustainable tools that can push the development of our country forward. Every vision starts with a mindset, and every mission should follow the mindset. The knowledge, experience and passion for good change that we have, should be embodied in our nation’s DNA and serve as catalysts that will increase the Index rate of Intellectual Property, Innovation and our Nation Brand globally. In the year of 2035, Albania should be amongst the top 30 most innovative countries in the world. Let us work hard for this mission and let this mindset lead us through this wonderful journey.

Dear iSCA-ians! A small group of diaspora fellows can make a difference. But a big group of diaspora fellows with knowledge and experience can bring the good change for our country. Bless you all and let us make our Albania an innovation emerald in the planet!
