Ramallah (3March) – The SANET project is proud to announce a key milestone in its mission to empower young Palestinian entrepreneurs in the agri-food sector. On 10 March 2025, a special event will take place in Ramallah to unveil the 10 finalist startups selected through the SANET Startup Innovation Awards.

This event will highlight the achievements of these young innovators, who were selected from a competitive pool of 34 applicants. Over the past months, they have completed an intensive training programme, honing their skills in business development, funding strategies, and market positioning. Now, the 10 chosen startups are set to embark on a six-month incubation period. During this time, they will benefit from tailored mentorship and expert guidance to further develop their ideas.

Their journey will conclude in July 2025, when the participants will present their final projects at the Innovation Hub at CIHEAM Bari. This showcase will provide a platform for the startups to present their innovative solutions to a panel of international experts, investors, and stakeholders. Each of the 10 startups has been awarded a €10,000 grant to support a strategic phase of their development.

The 10 March meeting in Ramallah will offer a unique opportunity to meet the selected startups, explore their innovative ideas, and celebrate their progress. This event will mark the start of a crucial new phase, during which the startups will refine their business models and prepare to demonstrate how their solutions contribute to the sustainable transformation of the agri-food sector.

We warmly invite all partners, stakeholders, and innovation enthusiasts to join us in Ramallah as we champion the next generation of entrepreneurs in their mission to develop impactful and sustainable solutions.
