Since 1999, the Internet Project Kosovo (IPKO) has been at the heart of Kosovo’s journey from post-conflict recovery to a thriving digital landscape. Beginning as a small initiative, it quickly became a powerful force for change, to equip Kosovo’s youth with essential technical skills and opening doors to a connected, innovative future. In 2008, this mission evolved into IPKO Foundation, dedicated to empowering Kosovo’s youth and overall community through scholarships, skill-building, and leadership opportunities that would cultivate the country’s future tech leaders.
Now, 25 years later, our transformation into The Foundation House is a testament to the enduring impact of these efforts. This rebranding reflects a renewed commitment to uplifting and inspiring Kosovo’s resilient communities. The Foundation House represents a legacy of profound impact and an inclusive vision for the future—a place where all Kosovars, including the Albanian diaspora, feel a sense of belonging and purpose. This change is more than a new name; it’s a powerful affirmation of our mission to fuel Kosovo’s growth in the digital age. With a deepened focus on creating pathways for youth, empowering women, and strengthening communities, we remain dedicated to building opportunities for all who shape and enrich our society.
