New Agreement to Support Youth Projects in Damascus and Rural Damascus

In an effort to strengthen the local business environment and promote entrepreneurship, the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency has signed a cooperation agreement with the Manar Foundation. The partnership is designed to provide targeted support to youth-led projects based in Damascus and its surrounding countryside.

This initiative aims to empower owners of startups, assisting them in developing their projects and overcoming obstacles often encountered during the early stages of growth. Under the terms of the agreement, the two organizations will focus on implementing mechanisms that improve the quality of products and services offered by young entrepreneurs. These efforts are intended to align project outcomes with the needs of the local market and broader economic requirements.

Through this collaboration, the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency seeks to foster a stronger partnership between the public and private sectors to support young talent. Small and medium-sized enterprises are considered a vital pillar for activating the local economic cycle. The planned support program includes providing expert consultations, facilitating access to business development tools, and cultivating the skills necessary to ensure the sustainability and expansion of these companies within Damascus and the Rif Dimashq region.

This agreement reflects an increasing commitment to providing technical and logistical support to Syrian youth, particularly those operating in the startup sector. By facilitating these resources, the initiative aims to create new employment opportunities and stimulate local innovation within the target geographic area of the capital and its surrounding districts.
