EU and Amsterdam’s Spark to run $8.9m project to support entrepreneurship in Mena – The National
The EU has teamed up with Amsterdam-based non-governmental organisation Spark to run a four-year €8 million programme to support young entrepreneurs in the Middle East and North Africa region.
The initiative aims to promote an “inclusive, sustainable and tech-driven future in the region”, the entities said in a joint statement on Thursday.
Spark, alongside two of its regional partners, Iace (Tunisia) and Ruwwad (Jordan), is being funded by the EU to design, enact and improve start-up ecosystems in Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon and Tunisia.
