The Kudra Start Program, which works with entrepreneurs from Syria and the host community to enable them with tools in order to succeed is now in the second round of the workshop. There are 18 participants in total, 11 men and 7 women.
The recent round began in August with the core training having ended in late September. Some of the main topics covered include, design thinking, business models; covering planning and strategy and every participant made his business model canvas, finance, marketing, and presentation skills.
Many of the participants had prior business and prototype ideas but wanted to find ways to bring their ideas to the market. These fundamental lessons equip participants to learn tangible skills to help bring their ideas to fruition.
