The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology<\/a> (MCIT), represented by the Center of Digital Entrepreneurship (CODE), has launched the seventh cohort of the Tech Founders program, comprising 20 founders of digital startup companies. This initiative comes as part of MCIT\u2019s ongoing efforts to empower entrepreneurs and develop their leadership, operational, and technical capabilities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The program aims to enhance participants\u2019 skills in building and scaling technology companies through multiple international journeys. These include specialized training boot camps, hands-on workshops, and digital enablers, in addition to interactive meetings with international experts and investors, field visits, and participation in global conferences. These activities contribute to broadening participants\u2019 perspectives and strengthening their companies\u2019 readiness for growth and expansion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tech Founders is part of The Multiverse initiatives, which aim to invest in national entrepreneurial talent and equip it with the tools and knowledge needed to build digital companies capable of competing locally and globally.
