AL QUDS (JERUSALEM), April 13 (Bernama-MAP) -- Six Palestinian startups operating in the fields of creativity and innovation participated in the fourth edition of GITEX Africa, held from April 7 to 9 in Marrakech, with the support of the Bayt Mal Al-Quds Asharif Agency (BMAQ), Agence Maghreb Arabe Presse (MAP) reported.
The agency took part in this major event for the third consecutive year, with financial support from the Digital Transition and Administrative Reform Ministry, through an institutional pavilion and a space dedicated to the “BMAQ Innovation Hub” project incubator.
The participating Palestinian companies were selected according to specific criteria developed in collaboration with a specialised team from Al-Quds University.
They covered several specialties, including artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted psychological assessment for career guidance through the “Burhan” platform, as well as the digitisation of childcare services and the strengthening of communication between educators and parents via the “GrowApp” application.
These include the “HowAISees” platform, which specialises in using AI to enhance the e-commerce and marketing experience, as well as the “Labebo” project, offering innovative solutions in the field of remote treatment and rehabilitation for children through interactive 3D technologies.
Among these startups were also the “QREDIT” platform, which provides digital payment services for small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as the “Hives 360” system for developing beekeeping and improving productivity through smart monitoring and data analysis.
During the three days of the fair, the agency’s pavilion hosted a series of professional activities, including presentations by participating companies and bilateral meetings with Moroccan and international stakeholders to explore partnership opportunities and market access.
On this occasion, the agency affirmed that this participation represents a significant opportunity to bolster the role of Palestinian companies in supporting economic and social development, particularly in the city of Al-Quds, in line with the objectives of its 2024-2027 digital strategy.
To date, some 34 Palestinian startups have benefited from the agency’s incubator programmes, some of which have successfully reached the acceleration and partnership phases, while others have been able to access the market.
