Tunisia“Switchers Meet Investors” gathers a dynamic cohort of entrepreneurs in Jordan
“Switchers Meet Investors” brought together a dynamic cohort of entrepreneurs from the latest phase of the Green Entrepreneurship Program by SwitchMed in Jordan alongside a select group of investors and donors.
The Green Entrepreneurship Program offers a comprehensive journey to support entrepreneurs in the field of the green economy, beginning with training in green entrepreneurship skills, business plan writing, and attracting investments. In Jordan, the program has trained a total of 37 experts, with 35% being women, who are members of 16 Business Support Organizations (BSOs). The program has achieved significant milestones in a short span, with over 150 entrepreneurs participating in its sessions, half of whom are women. Between 15-20 environmentally friendly entrepreneurial projects are incubated in 8 governorates of Jordan, where entrepreneurs receive vital support, advice, and guidance to develop their projects.
At the event, entrepreneurs had the opportunity to pitch their projects to potential investors at the Switchers Meet Investors event, paving the way for funding numerous outstanding ideas. In a collaborative effort, the National Network for Green Entrepreneurship was established through partnerships with over 55 private and official entities under the European Union’s auspices. This initiative aims to enhance the exchange of experiences and cooperation among various stakeholders in the green economy sector.
The event at Souq Anbar underscores the importance of networking, facilitating connections between incubated projects and donor agencies to establish their initiatives. Additionally, BDC is organizing dialogue sessions and awareness-raising events about the green economy to further bolster its impact.
