On 15th of  November, a welcoming and informative meeting was held at Gjirafa's premises for the accepted fellows of the second edition of LIFE from Gjirafa. Opening remarks were delivered by the Director of LIFE from Gjirafa, Jusuf Thaçi, along with the leaders of LIFE's collaborating companies: Nue Nikolla (KODE Labs), Arben Zeqiri (Radix), Bleron Baraliu (Matrics & 91Life), and Mergim Cahani (Gjirafa). A cocktail reception followed, providing an opportunity for fellows to get acquainted with each other and the team members of the collaborating/employing companies.

A total of 1501 candidates applied for this edition of LIFE, and following a rigorous two-phase evaluation process (tests and interviews), only 95 candidates were accepted as fellows (including 34 fellows or 36% females/women). Upon acceptance, LIFE utilized quotas for certain socially disadvantaged categories (females/women, individuals from rural areas, minority communities, and individuals with special needs), aiming to contribute to inclusivity and social equality within the technology industry.

LIFE from Gjirafa expresses gratitude to all collaborating/employing companies for their trust and cooperation. On this occasion, LIFE also thanks the EYE Project for the financial support provided for this edition of LIFE.

LIFE from Gjirafa congratulates the fellows for their achieved results and wishes them success throughout the program!
