It also seeks to connect participants with a network of entrepreneurs, investors, and decision-makers, facilitating access to funding, idea incubation, while expanding partnerships between the public and private sectors to empower and further develop youth-led projects.

The initiative kicks off with an interactive introduction session, followed by a welcome address from the leadership of the Arab Youth Center. The agenda then continues with a series of interactive workshops focused on developing presentation and entrepreneurial storytelling skills. These workshops are designed to enable participants to showcase their projects to investors and partners in a way that reflects the feasibility of their projects and enhances their chances of securing support.
