Enpact Program 2016 applications now open
The non-profit organisation Enpact was founded in August 2013 with the aim of strengthening economic relations between young entrepreneurs from the Middle East, North Africa and Europe. Since then, this goal has been successfully implemented with the “engage participate act” project – an innovative mentorship program for promising young entrepreneurs – funded by the German Federal Foreign Office. Deadline for applications for the new round is 14 February.
During an eight-month-long interactive mentoring program, entrepreneurs from the MENA region and Europe work together in groups composed of three entrepreneurs (two entrepreneurs from the MENA region, one from Europe).
By working in different sector-based groups, horizontal learning, mutual exchange and the development of a sustainable network are promoted. The program currently supports young entrepreneurs from Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia, Switzerland, Austria and Germany.
