Jerusalem – The Bayt Mal Al-Quds Asharif Agency (BMAQ) is taking part in the “Expand North Star 2025” exhibition, which opens tomorrow, Sunday, in Dubai and runs until October 15. The event coincides with the launch of the 2025–2026 social and economic season in Jerusalem.
The Agency is present at this major international event with an institutional pavilion and a special section dedicated to the “BMAQ Innovation Hub,” which features projects from six Palestinian startups. This initiative is supported by the Ministry of Digital Transition and Administrative Reform and carried out in partnership with Al-Quds University.
This second participation in the global event underscores BMAQ’s unwavering commitment—under the leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee—to advancing socio-economic development in Jerusalem and empowering Palestinian youth through the promotion of innovation and entrepreneurial initiatives.
The six startups were selected based on specific criteria established in collaboration with a specialized team from Al-Quds University. They operate across diverse sectors such as health, education, beekeeping, electronic gaming, and assistive technologies for people with disabilities.
The Palestinian startups featured in the BMAQ Innovation Hub include GlyCare, an AI-powered platform for diabetes management; Hives360, an intelligent system for hive management and productivity analysis; Plink Play, a platform specializing in electronic games; Rafeeqek, a mobile application dedicated to women’s health; Taleik AI, a service that uses artificial intelligence to automate Arabic voice responses; and Mufakker, an interactive educational platform designed to support the inclusion of children with special needs.
BMAQ is supporting the Palestinian startups as they take part in a range of parallel activities organized by North Star. These include the prestigious “Supernova” competition, which showcases some of the world’s most innovative projects, as well as bilateral meetings with Arab and international investors and business accelerators. The program also offers mentoring and guidance sessions aimed at enhancing product development and strengthening investment readiness.
This marks the fourth cohort sponsored by BMAQ to participate in major national and international exhibitions. Through initiatives like these, the Agency consistently reaffirms its commitment to economically empowering Palestinian youth and fostering new opportunities for growth in the technology and innovation sectors.
This participation also highlights Palestine’s prominent presence on the international stage, showcasing the exceptional talent of Palestinian innovators who are capable of excelling and competing in global technology markets.
