Zoomaal and Mideast Creatives have partnered up to launch MENA Spaces. The purpose of this initiative is to enable the establishment and support of collaborative spaces in the Arab World, with the goal of having at least one collaborative workspace in every city in the region.

The MENA Spaces Collaborative Spaces Challenge presents a golden opportunity by offering up to $60,000 in matched funding for collaborative spaces looking to expand – or be established – in the six qualifying countries (Sudan, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, and Iraq).  

Collaborative Spaces in each of these countries have a chance to receive up to $10,000 in matched funding towards their projects. For example, if a collaborative space in Egypt received $100 in funding, Mideast Creatives will match it with another $100 towards the project.

To benefit from this matched funding, collaborative spaces must submit their projects on Zoomaal before January 12th, 2015 as a deadline.
