The Startup Roadshow returns to IGNITE

Launched for the first time in 2018, the Startup Roadshow is a competition for Syrian entrepreneurs based in the Middle East, organised by Jusoor Syria in collaboration with SPARK.
This year, the Roadshow kicked off in September across Beirut, Amman, Erbil, İstanbul and Gaziantep, with 100 teams of audacious entrepreneurs taking part in a 5-day bootcamp.
A Final Demo Day and pitching competition will take place in Amman on Monday 4th November, where the region’s top Syrian startups will be crowned the winners and receive cash prizes.

The prizes up for grabs are 3rd place $7000.00, 2nd place $10,000.00 and 1st place $15,000.00!
But there’s more! Other than the prizes, the lucky winners will take off to Amsterdam, to showcase their startups at SPARK’s 7th annual IGNITE conference ‘Jobs Now!‘.
The Startup Roadshow is the only competition worldwide exclusively for Syrian entrepreneurs. Today, the most promising Syrian entrepreneurs are not gathered in one place. They are valiantly envisioning the future all over the world. It’s time to unlock their talent.
