MEET THE MENTEES
PMP participants are among the more established young professionals in the West Bank and East Jerusalem: senior people at Palestinian companies and entrepreneurs. While they typically have experienced some success, they find themselves facing obstacles to their continued professional and business growth. To be selected for PMP, applicants must demonstrate how they will not only benefit from the program themselves, but also support the Palestinian high-tech ecosystem as alumni. They are community leaders, founders of startups, and/or work for larger Palestinian high-tech companies where they will become future C-level executives. PMP participants are selected because they have the potential to influence and eventually lead the sectors in which they function and to have a significant impact on the Palestinian private sector and startup ecosystem.
