The Creative Mediterranean team were in Ramallah, Palestine on the 24th and 25th May 2023 for the kickoff of the selected business proposals with Asala, the Palestinian Businesswomen’s Association. The business proposals were selected under the CREACT4MED project following the pitch session, which took place on the 30th January 2023 in a hybrid format. Entrepreneurs were required to present their businesses to a group of experts, and 4 were selected.
As with previous visits, over the course of two days, beneficiaries learned about the CREACT4MED activities, and brainstormed synergy opportunities where entrepreneurs were challenged with a view to strengthening their business proposals. Following the event, these projects are ready to be launched with the help of the Palestinian Business Support Organisation, Asala.
CREACT4MED is a project funded by the EU through the EuropeAid Programme, and seeks to strengthen CCI ecosystems in the MENA region and unleash the full potential of CCI to create empowered and flourishing societies. It aims to support entrepreneurs, start-ups and SMEs, create jobs, and foster sustainable economic growth in the Southern Mediterranean, with a particular focus on young people and women.
