Palestinian entrepreneurs North Star

Between 13-16 October, 18 Palestinian startups participated in the 2024 GITEX Expand North Star Conference in Dubai. This event offered Palestinian entrepreneurs a rare opportunity to gain global exposure, form strategic partnerships, and attract the investment necessary to fuel their growth—and, by extension, contribute to Palestine’s economic recovery.

Organised by the Innovative Private Sector Development (IPSD) Program, in collaboration with Intersect and Ibtikar Fund, the Palestinian Pavilion at Expand North Star spotlighted 18 of Palestine’s most innovative startups. These forward-thinking entrepreneurs presented cutting-edge solutions in areas such as AI, e-commerce, and more to an international audience of investors and industry leaders. “The IPSD project is committed to empowering Palestinian tech and tech-enabled startups and innovative SMEs, equipping them to excel on the global stage. Through our programs, we are paving the way for these pioneering entrepreneurs to shape the future of the Palestinian economy, enabling them not just to participate but to redefine the international market landscape,” said Ninaru Shtayyeh, Market Linkages Component Lead at the IPSD project.
