Al-Quds Agency Supports 6 Palestinian Startups at "Expand North Star 2025" Exhibition in Dubai

SadaNews - The Al-Quds Agency is participating in the "Expand North Star 2025" exhibition, which opens tomorrow, Sunday, in Dubai, and will continue until October 15, coinciding with the opening of the social and economic season in Jerusalem 2025-2026.

 The agency is participating in this international event with an institutional pavilion and a special booth for the "BMAQ Innovation Hub," which includes projects from 6 emerging Palestinian companies, supported by the Ministry of Digital Transition and Administrative Reform, in partnership with Al-Quds University. 

 This presence, the second of its kind at this global gathering, embodies the agency's approach, under the Jerusalem Committee, chaired by His Majesty King Mohammed VI, to support socio-economic development in Jerusalem and empower Palestinian youth by encouraging innovation and enhancing entrepreneurship. 

 The six companies' projects, selected according to specific criteria approved in collaboration with a specialized team from Al-Quds University, span sectors such as health, education, beekeeping, electronic games, and applications for individuals with disabilities. 

 The Palestinian companies participating under the agency's incubator include "GlyCare," an AI-powered platform for managing diabetes; "Hives360," a smart system for managing beehives and analyzing productivity; "Plink Play," a platform specialized in electronic games; "Rafeeqek," an app focused on women's health; "Taleik AI," a service that uses AI to automate voice responses in Arabic; and "Mufakker," an interactive educational platform aimed at integrating children with special needs.

 The Al-Quds Agency accompanies the participation of Palestinian companies in various parallel activities provided by (North Star), including the "Supernova" competition, which gathers a select group of innovative projects globally, along with organizing bilateral meetings with Arab and international investors and business accelerators, and continuing mentorship sessions that focus on product development and improving readiness for growth and investment. 

 This is the fourth group of its kind sponsored by the agency to participate in major international and national exhibitions, as the Al-Quds Agency continues through these initiatives to affirm its commitment to economically empower Palestinian youth and create new growth opportunities in the fields of technology and innovation.

 This participation reinforces Palestine's presence in this international arena and reflects a dignified image of Palestinian competencies capable of creativity and competition in global technology markets.
