Youth Incubator for AAST Students
The Implementation Strategy Matrix of the Entrepreneurship Centre offers various services to help youth enhance and validate their prototypes. Through our trainings, consultancies, exposure, and one-to-one mentorship, they support youth to launch their dream startups, and compete in the International Market. With their sector’ focused incubation programs, they fill the gaps.
The Youth Incubator at the Arab Academy is the incubation program designed for young entrepreneurs of students and fresh graduates, that aims to provide them with all needed support to start and grow innovation-based start-ups in different fields. The six months incubation program is tailored to meet the needs and challenges of early-stage entrepreneurs at that stage; it starts with a pre-incubation capacity building phase where students receive the essential knowledge and skills for entrepreneurial thinking and mindset as well as basic knowledge on marketing, finance, technical, etc. This is followed by a validation phase where start-ups start to explore their customers, market segments, and customer needs in order to provide the proper solution product or service. Start-ups then are being mentored across the prototyping phase and the start-up phase where they are being introduced to the market. The program offers technical and business support, consultation for prototype development, equipped co-working space at the Arab academy, and financial prototyping grant.
