We’re thrilled to announce our partnership with cewas Middle East to co-run an accelerator program in 2022!

cewas’ innovators and entrepreneurs create social and environmental impact. They support entrepreneurs at all stages: ideation – incubation – acceleration and scale-up. They build enabling ecosystems, and offer technical assistance, finance support, tailor-made coaching and training, as well as ensure good governance and integrity.

Today they run dedicated entrepreneurship programs on the ground supporting entrepreneurs in Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine and Iraq, as well as the MENA region on a broader scale. They support entrepreneurs at all stages of their business’ life cycle. They place a focus on ensuring maximum impact and inclusion of vulnerable groups into business models from the get-go and work in parallel to raise awareness among future clients, partners and donors to recognize and support water- and environmental entrepreneurship.

cewas aims to build and strengthen the capacities needed to develop and implement sustainable entrepreneurial solutions for the water and sanitation sector to achieve the SDGs.

The co-run partner accelerator will launch in early 2022 for entrepreneurs to apply to a 16-week program. Participants in the four-month program will receive funding, hands-on mentorship from the Bloom and cewas networks, access to curated workshops and resources.
