A Space for Exchanges and Partnerships
During the expo, which runs until April 9, the agency’s booth will host presentations, B2B meetings, and exchanges with Moroccan and international players to foster partnerships and market access.
A Lever for Economic Development
According to the agency, this participation represents a strategic opportunity to strengthen the role of Palestinian startups in economic and social development, particularly in Jerusalem. It aligns with their 2024-2027 digital strategy aimed at promoting entrepreneurship and opening new prospects for youth.
A Structured Digital Strategy
Launched in 2024, this strategy focuses on several pillars, including promoting heritage through the "House of Morocco in Jerusalem" platform, supporting startups, fostering solidarity e-commerce, distance learning, and educational applications targeted at young people.
To date, 34 Palestinian startups have benefited from the agency’s support programs, with some having already reached acceleration stages and international markets.
