This event provided an opportunity to learn about the Agency and its interventions in the Holy City, particularly in the field of digitization and support for innovative projects for Jerusalemites.
Mohammed Salem Echarkaoui, BMAQ’s director in charge of the current affairs management, stated that the pavilion provided an opportunity for project leaders from Palestine and Morocco to interact with global digital markets.
He pointed out that the Agency’s startup incubator, “BMAQ Innovation Hub,” was showcased at the exhibition, which further strengthened the continuous connection between Moroccans and Palestinians, as well as the exhibitors’ interaction with global digital markets.
The Agency supported the participation of three projects by Master’s students in digital media and communication from Al-Quds University, as well as two projects by Palestinian startups.
