Why?
High unemployment rates are a serious dilemma and economic challenge not only in Palestine but also throughout the entire region. We believe that translating innovations into products and services through the professional business and acceleration services we provide is the solution for achieving prosperity and a better economy for the MENA region. Palestine is no exception, and we are fully aware of the local context and obstacles, which we take into consideration, such as:
-
-
- socio-economic and geo-political restrictions,
- connected, dependent and weak economy,
- small and limited market,
- high unemployment rates among youth with
- a huge pool of talents and graduates including females
-
How?
Having said so, we are providing effective tools which will contribute in solving some of the challenges our entrepreneurs and the community at large are facing:
- Capacity Building and Training: design, develop and deliver of small enterprise development (SED) training kits and materials.
- Virtual acceleration services is an enabler and supporter for youth and talents during their journey in establishing their own businesses and start-up companies. High quality business services and creative solutions including the business planning and modelling, networking, marketing and access to finance.
- The “One-Stop-Shop” helps entrepreneurs in assessing, recognizing and identifying the right path to follow. It allows them to access a pool of mentors as well.
- Education is the core of our social responsibility. The right education, entrepreneurship and innovation eco-system is the way toward innovation-based economy and lower unemployment rate. Strengthening University-Industry interaction and joint activities and projects is one of our effective and examined tools.
- We do believe in the Public Private Dialogue (PPD) and National Policies which is the right way and tool to support youth, SMEs and business clusters.
What?
Supporting the employment, self-employment and "doing-business" environment in Palestine as well as entrepreneurs in establishing and developing their business ideas and start-up companies (MSMEs) will create more jobs.
