Program Details
Program Description
Shabab Plus supported early-stage entrepreneurs from the West Bank and Gaza, helping them transition from idea validation to product development and market entry. Targeting youth aged 22–36 with relevant experience or promising ideas in agriculture and tourism, the program aimed to promote sustainable and resilient economic growth through innovation in these critical sectors.
The program began with a needs assessment to identify key sector challenges, followed by an intensive bootcamp where participants refined their business ideas, strengthened their models, and prepared for pitching. This was followed by a six-month incubation phase offering tailored mentoring, business plan development, product refinement, and specialized training. Participants also benefited from seed funding and networking opportunities designed to help them scale their solutions and attract future investment.
By the end of the program, 15 entrepreneurs had developed scalable ventures with strong potential for long-term impact. Through personalized support and sector-focused guidance, Shabab Plus contributed to building a new generation of purpose-driven startups in Palestine’s agriculture and tourism industries.
