PIEC Scaleup has launched an eight-stage support pathway designed to guide Palestinian ventures from early ideation to regional expansion.
The Palestinian Innovation & Entrepreneurship Catalyst covers ideation, pre-incubation, incubation, pre-acceleration, acceleration, investment readiness, investment mobilisation and deal support, and regional expansion.
According to the announcement, the program is structured as one connected pathway rather than a set of standalone initiatives. Each stage will provide support tailored to a venture’s needs, define the criteria for moving forward and connect founders with relevant partners.
PIEC is being implemented by Flow Accelerator and Flat6Labs, with funding from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and in partnership with Switzerland’s Representative Office in the Palestinian territories.
The organisers said the initiative will work alongside existing entrepreneurship programs to complement current efforts rather than duplicate them. Details on the individual stages and the first calls for applications will be announced soon.
