AlProfit Consult has been the ambassador of Durana Tech Park since August 28, 2026, when we signed the cooperation agreement with Durana Tech Park Sh.A. With this agreement, the park officially recognizes us as an authorized partner for attracting investors. Our task is to introduce the park to businesses and investors and to accompany them until their operations are established within it.
Durana Tech Park is the first technology and science park in Albania., in Xhafzotaj, Durrës. There, startups, technology companies, universities, and mobile digital workers operate. They benefit from the tax incentives provided by the law for technology and scientific parks.
For us, this role is a natural continuation of the work we've been doing since 2015 as external economists for businesses in Albania. A business entering the park needs the same thing as any new business. It needs accurate registration and accounting that keeps its incentives secure without risk.

What does the ambassador of Durana Tech Park do?
The ambassador is the link between the park and the business community. Under the agreement, we promote the park through our network of clients and contacts, both in Albania and beyond. We assist companies with their application, relocation, and business development within the park.
On its part, the park provides us with informational materials, regulatory updates, and data on available incentives. This way, we always have the park's rules and incentives up to date.
This role does not replace the selection process. The park makes the admission decision according to its own procedure. Our job is to ensure that your application is complete and accurate and is supported by a truly qualifying activity.
Who can apply to Durana Tech Park?
The law defines the park user as a natural or legal person, domestic or foreign, who carries out activities within the park. Durana Tech Park accepts four categories of applicants: startups; technology and digital services companies; universities and research institutions; and mobile digital workers.
The changes in 2026 brought an important innovation. Park activities can now be carried out physically, virtually, or in a hybrid manner when provided for by the development agreement and the park's declaration act. This change paved the way for the virtual technology park and the mobile digital worker.
A limitation must be recognized from the outset. The law prohibits relocating to the park an activity already carried out in Albania when the primary purpose is to benefit from the incentives. Any transaction that essentially achieves the same result is also prohibited. Therefore, the first question we examine together is whether your project is a new innovative activity.
Tax incentives for users of Durana Tech Park
The concessions apply equally to the developer and to the park's users. The 2026 amendment extended the 0% VAT rate to the fee that the developer or manager charges users. The criteria and procedures for obtaining the benefits are approved by the Council of Ministers, and the incentives are reflected in the contract between the developer and the user.
| Incentive | What does the law provide? | Deadline |
|---|---|---|
| Profit Tax | Rate 0% for income from park activities | 15 consecutive years |
| Research and development staff salaries | Exemption from all taxes | ten years |
| VAT | Scale 0% for goods, equipment, and services used in the park for the innovative product, as well as for the developer's fee. | The law does not set a deadline. |
| Albanian goods supplied to the park | Treated as export at a rate of 0% | The law does not set a deadline. |
| Real property tax | Exemption for constructions carried out in the park | ten years |
| Infrastructure Impact Fee | Full exclusion | The law does not set a deadline. |
| Training of scientific and technical staff | Partial reimbursement by the state | According to the criteria of the Council of Ministers |
How much does the resident contribute to the park?
The facilities also have a side that must be taken into account. A Durana Tech Park resident contributes no less than 11% of the revenue from activities within the park. This figure was confirmed by the park itself and is included in any calculation of the actual benefit.
The contribution is calculated on revenue, not on profit. Therefore, it is paid even in years when the company incurs a loss or has low profit. This makes the financial plan submitted with the application important.
How much does a company with 40,000,000 lek in annual revenue save?
Let's take a new innovative company with revenues of 40,000,000 lek and a taxable profit of 8,000,000 lek per year, all from operations in the park. Outside the park, with the general income tax rate of 15%, The tax would be 1,200,000 lek per year. Within the park the rate is 0%, so this amount is not payable.
On the other hand, the minimum contribution of 1% on amounts above 40,000,000 lek is 400,000 lek per year. The net savings from profit tax therefore amount to up to 800,000 lek per year, or up to 12,000,000 lek over 15 years with the same figures. The rest of the benefit comes from R&D staff salaries and the 0.1% VAT.
For businesses with annual revenue up to 14,000,000 lek, the profit tax is 0% until December 31, 2029, even outside the park. For them, the park's value lies in the other incentives, not in the profit tax. The example figures are rounded and serve as an illustration.
