By bringing together the expertise of diplomats, social entrepreneurs, tech developers and designers, journalists, academics, NGOs, businesses and citizens, we will focus on hacking the problem of endemic corruption and state capture in Albania focusing on the approach of enhancing accountability as an empowering tool for common citizens. The objective of the Diplohack is engaging, creative thinking and learning.
