Which market is your startup planning to enter next?

[parachute16 | برشوت16 @parachute16me]

Expanding into a new market takes more than repeating what worked before.
Every market has different customers, pricing, partnerships, and sales dynamics.
Start by learning, localizing, testing, and adapting.

Five countries. Five hackathons. One shared journey of impact. 🌍✨

From Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Lebanon, and the UAE, we witnessed incredible energy, bold ideas, real teamwork, and young people who were ready to challenge themselves and create something meaningful.

Every team brought its own story, perspective, and passion. We saw ideas grow, friendships begin, and participants support one another through every challenge.

We are proud of every single person who took part in this journey. Proud of the work you put in, the courage you showed, and the impact you created along the way.

The hackathons may have ended, but they were only the beginning.
The winning teams came together in Amman for the Youth Impact Studio Summit, where a new chapter of this regional journey began.

And trust us, there is still so much more to see. 🤍

Summit recap coming soon.

خمس دول، وخمسة هاكثونات، ورحلة وحدة جمعت شباب عندهم شغف حقيقي يصنعون أثر. 🌍✨

من الأردن، والسعودية، والعراق، ولبنان، والإمارات، شفنا طاقة كبيرة، أفكار جريئة، تعاون حقيقي، وشباب كانوا جاهزين يتحدّون أنفسهم ويقدمون شيء له معنى.

كل فريق كان عنده قصته، فكرته، وطريقته الخاصة. شفنا الأفكار وهي تتطور، والعلاقات وهي تبدأ، والمشاركين وهم يدعمون بعض في كل خطوة.

فخورين بكل شخص كان جزء من هالرحلة. فخورين بتعبكم، وحماسكم، وشجاعتكم، وبكل أثر تركتوه خلال الهاكثونات.

الهاكثونات خلصت، لكنها كانت مجرد البداية.

الفرق الفائزة اجتمعت في عمّان ضمن قمة استوديو تأثير الشباب، وهناك بدأت مرحلة جديدة من هالرحلة الإقليمية.

ولسه ما شفتوا كل شيء. 🤍

ترقبوا ملخص القمة قريبًا.

[parachute16 | برشوت16 @parachute16me]

لأن الفوز الحقيقي كان بالنمو، بالتعلّم، وبالإيمان إن الشباب قادرين يصنعوا تغيير حقيقي. 🤍

Because the real win was the growth, the learning, and the belief that youth can create real change. 🤍

The final day of the Youth Impact Studio Summit was full of achievements, energy, emotions, and unforgettable moments. ✨

[parachute16 | برشوت16 @parachute16me]

ومع وجود فائزين في ختام القمة، بالنسبة إلنا كل مشارك كان فائز، بالمعرفة، بالتجربة، بالعلاقات، والأثر اللي تركه خلال الرحلة.

And while there were winners at the end of the summit, for us every participant was a winner, through the knowledge they gained, the experience they lived, the connections they built, and the impact they created.
