DOHA: Almost 95 percent of entrepreneurs will get an opportunity to share their business idea with the community through recently launched “Business and Coffee” project by NAMA - Social Development Centre, said an official of NAMA Center.
The Business and Coffee project targets entrepreneurs aged between 18 and 45, this project seeks to run a group of meetings at different cafes with entrepreneurs as well as ideas and projects owners. Meetings will continue until December every Wednesday.
Recently in an interview with The Peninsula, Saoud Essa Al Mohannadi, Entrepreneurship Manager at NAMA Center, said: “We provide a platform to young entrepreneurs to share their business ideas with us and help them in funding their projects. We try to eliminate the risk factor and help them how to become successful.”
“‘Business and Coffee’ project brings a friendly-environment for entrepreneurs and provides a platform to think and work on it,” he said.
The project comes in line with the NAMA Center’s commitment to empower, rehabilitate young people and provide different aspects of technical, financial, promotional and incubation services to entrepreneurs.
“More than 95 percent of young entrepreneurs never get a chance to share their ideas. This project welcomes all entrepreneurs under one roof to brainstorm and polish their ideas with their other fellow entrepreneurs. We focus on 95 percent of entrepreneurs who share their micro businesses ideas and we provide them with a spark,” Al Mohannadi added.
This programme does not come with strict instructions, it is a lenient programme which will help entrepreneurs to open-up and share their ideas freely. NAMA Center makes their ideas crystal clear and directs them towards the initial step.
This project will highlight the importance of the role of local entrepreneurs and their contribution to spread the motivation and inspiration messages among the audience and entrepreneurs.
