Over the course of over a year, GIMED has accompanied more than 40 projects in Palestine with a high social and environmental impact from their business ideas, that were in an ideation stage.
The main goal of the support given by the project was to strengthen transversal knowledge and skills and facilitate access to finance. Among the 20 participants that joined a pitching event held on Thursday 21st of April, 4 were selected to access a grant of 7,500 euros for the development of their project in Palestine.
From these green and social entrepreneurs, there are ideas in various fields such as sustainable food and agriculture, sustainable building and construction, renewable energy and energy efficiency.
The winners will have 6 months to use the received funds, under the supervision of Leaders. The 4 grants will be used by the selected entrepreneurs to cover specific technical needs related to business creation pre-identified during the training and coaching sessions.
