Jawwal celebrates the first anniversary of Fikra Innovation Hub; which is a corporate program that supports entrepreneurship, where individuals and teams can grow their technologies and businesses; it is a creative space for entrepreneurs with innovative ideas and in need to access physical infrastructure, capacity building and mentoring.
A lot has happened since Fikra was launched, the co-working space is now hosting a dynamic community of entrepreneurs, freelancers and start-ups, and the innovation space is buzzing with vertical integration and events as well as attracting many local and international visitors.
The Hub include a well-equipped co-working space, access to Jawwal’s infrastructure such as its Application Store “in which Palestinian applications will be visible to more than 3 million subscribers through Jawwal marketing channels “and Jawwal Pay (e-wallet that will help start-up to monetize) amongst other infrastructure services that aim to transform ideas into projects or products with ultimately turning them into investment opportunities.
A vital element in our business strategy is to discover and unleash innovative ideas, especially with the fast moving technology elsewhere and with the true need to expand into “new” businesses. We are launching the new forward-thinking innovation Hub to unlock Palestine’s true potential as a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem, and we will assist selected entrepreneurs with support services and investment funds to back Palestinian entrepreneurs launch their ventures.
