Misk Funding Initiative
Innovative business start-ups in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region could receive cash injections of up to USD$ 1 million as part of Misk – a newly launched growth initiative.
Technology start-ups will be given the opportunity to participate in a three-month training programme aimed at fast-tracking promising young entrepreneurs to achieving their business goals. The Misk Foundation has launched its growth accelerator scheme for MENA technology start-ups in partnership with innovation investor organisations Seedstars and Vision Ventures.
Each company selected to take part in the project will receive an initial USD$ 100 000 with the chance of a follow-up USD$1 million.
