Through its comprehensive support and guidance, the program has enabled entrepreneurs to harness technology and knowledge, driving the digital economy forward while nurturing effective business solutions and models.
Following the acceleration program and the pitching day, the judging committee carefully evaluated the participating startups and made their selections for investment and grant opportunities. Out of the exceptional pool of startups, six were chosen to receive further support. Palgy and Aqlama.ai were identified as startups with immense growth potential and innovative ideas, making them prime candidates for investment opportunities.
Additionally, BeeTech, Eyiada, Park in the City, and Thamra were selected for grants. These startups demonstrated significant progress and achievements during the program and will receive additional support to help them reach their full potential. Palestine Technopark, in collaboration with the startups, has been actively providing resources, such as equipment, office space, and technical expertise, to assist them in implementing their minimum viable products (MVPs).
Park in the City, for example, was offered the opportunity to implement their parking prototype in Palestine Technopark's parking space. Similarly, BeeTech has been working closely with Palestine Technopark and was offered a space in the Technopark garden to implement their project, enabling them to make significant strides in developing their MVP and preparing for the next phase.
These collaborations exemplify Palestine Technopark's dedication to supporting innovation and entrepreneurship in the region. By offering essential resources and guidance, the Technopark is actively fostering a thriving startup ecosystem in Palestine, empowering entrepreneurs to drive industry transformation and contribute to the economic development of the nation.With the ongoing support of Palestine Technopark and the Palestinian Investment Fund, we eagerly anticipate the continued growth and progress of these startups as they work towards realizing their goals.
