Conclusion of the “Green City Challenge” Bootcamp with 9 Entrepreneurial Ideas
The training bootcamp of the “Green City Challenge” program concluded with the development of 9 entrepreneurial ideas aimed at providing innovative solutions to environmental challenges in the city. This came after three days of intensive training organized by Build Palestine, an organization that supports social innovation and entrepreneurship in Palestine, with the participation of entrepreneurs interested in environmental issues.
On the first day, Tala Jaafar from the Health and Environment Department opened the training by presenting the key real environmental challenges facing the city, such as solid waste management, energy consumption, and environmental awareness. This helped participants gain a deeper understanding of the problems.
Participants received specialized training on problem identification and definition, in addition to applying creative thinking methodologies to develop practical, implementable solutions. Environmental expert Najla Abdul Latif provided guidance to ensure that the ideas aligned with real environmental needs.
Shadi Qamhieh from The National Bank also delivered a practical session on revenues and costs, aiming to strengthen participants’ capacities in building business models and managing projects.
At the conclusion, the teams presented pilot pitches of their ideas before Melvina Al-Jamal, Director of the Health and Environment Department, who discussed with them the feasibility of implementing the projects in practice, in preparation for presenting them to the jury on 15/12/2025 to select the top three ideas.
