The Acting President of the Republic of Kosovo, Albulena Haxhiu, participated today at the \u201cFuture Makers: Girls in ICT\u201d conference\u201d.<\/p>\n
Acting President Haxhiu, on this occasion, said that when industry, academia, institutions and civil society come together, we understand that major challenges are not faced separately, but only when we are together.<\/p>\n
She further added that with the development of artificial intelligence, this change is gaining even greater momentum.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe labour market is changing. Many professions are adapting, some are disappearing, others are emerging. In times like these, countries that turn education, knowledge and technology into national priorities advance\u201d, she emphasized.<\/p>\n
The Acting President said that we are a young country, with many young men and women who want to move forward.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur path has not been easy. We have built many things ourselves, with our own efforts, but from this we have drawn strength, we have drawn knowledge, but also faith that we can rise up whenever we face challenges\u201d, said Acting President Haxhiu.<\/p>\n
She further added that once the wealth of nations was measured by land, mines, factories, of course these are also very important, but today it is being measured more and more by knowledge, innovation and the ability to create.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is our opportunity, but no country moves forward by leaving half of itself behind. Therefore, the inclusion of girls and women in technology is not only related to equality, certainly with equality but not only with equality, it is also related to the development of the economy, the advancement of society and the future of our country\u201d, affirmed the Acting President.<\/p>\n
According to her, Albanian women and girls have always known how to find their way.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith work, knowledge and perseverance, they have supported families, built societies and opened new paths even when it was almost impossible. Even today, this spirit characterizes them. We have many examples that prove this truth. Drena Kusari from Gjakova, appointed a few weeks ago to one of the highest management positions at Microsoft, shows us that from Kosovo it is possible to reach the top of the technology world. \u00c7am\u00ebrie Mazreku from Malisheva, engaged as a software engineer at Netflix, proves that our talent can find a place in the largest companies of the world. Mira Murati, among the most well-known names in artificial intelligence today, is another proof that knowledge and dedication know no boundaries\u201d, emphasized the Acting President.<\/p>\n
In addition to these names, according to Acting President Haxhiu, there are many other women and girls that we may not even see, but who are leaving their mark in universities, companies, start-ups, laboratories and institutions with their work.<\/p>\n
She further said that each of their achievements is an open door for the girls who come after them.<\/p>\n
According to the Acting President, these stories show us that our talent can go far when it finds support and when it finds opportunity.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow I want to address the girls here at this conference in particular. The road ahead of you will not always be easy. You will encounter people who will doubt you, who will prejudge you, even those who will tell you that this field is not for you. There will be fatigue, uncertainty, there will be trials, but these are temporary difficulties, and they do not in any way determine your ability. Do not wait for everything to be fixed to take the first step, because the path is often clarified only when we walk. Do not think that technology belongs to someone else. It needs your knowledge, your ideas, but also your courage. If someone underestimates you, respond with work. If the road seems long to you, walk step by step. If you encounter difficulties, do not give up because that is where your strength begins\u201d, emphasized Acting President Haxhiu.<\/p>\n
She further said that Kosovo needs female programmers, engineers, artificial intelligence researchers, and cybersecurity experts, with Acting President Haxhiu thanked Ms. Sahatqija for the work she is doing in this direction!<\/p>\n
\u201cThe digital future waits for no one. Every girl who moves forward also moves Kosovo forward. I strongly believe that many of those who will lead the digital future of Kosovo are in this hall today\u201d, said the U.S. President.<\/p>\n
At the conclusion, Acting President Haxhiu said that we now have a minister who is dealing with this issue on a daily basis.<\/p>\n
\u201cTherefore, I also thank her for the great commitment she is making in this direction and I am very convinced that, knowing Lul\u00ebzon, he will always stand by you in relation to the requests you may have\u201d, emphasized Acting President Haxhiu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
