Dubai – The Bayt Mal Al-Quds Asharif Agency (BMAQ) successfully wrapped up its participation in the “Expand North Star 2025” exhibition in Dubai, highlighted by the Palestinian startup “Hives360,” a participant in the BMAQ Innovation Hub program, reaching the semifinals of the international “Supernova” competition from among 2,000 competing startups.
This milestone marked the Agency’s successful participation in this year’s “Expand North Star” exhibition, featuring an institutional pavilion and a dedicated space for the Innovation and Renewal Projects Incubator. The pavilion showcased six Palestinian startups from the fourth cohort of the 2025 incubator program, implemented with the support of the Ministry of Digital Transition and Administrative Reform.
Throughout the exhibition, the Agency’s pavilion drew a diverse audience of visitors, investors, and prominent figures, all showing keen interest in the incubator projects and the Agency’s efforts to empower Palestinian youth with the tools and skills for innovation and entrepreneurship.
Palestinian entrepreneurs delivered engaging presentations of their projects to visitors and investors in a lively and interactive setting. They also participated in mentoring and guidance sessions organized by the incubator management in collaboration with Al-Quds University, aimed at enhancing their communication with investors and refining their investment pitches.
The pavilion further facilitated one-on-one meetings between Palestinian companies and representatives from Arab and international funding institutions and business accelerators, providing a platform to explore collaboration and investment opportunities.
Through this remarkable participation, BMAQ has added a significant milestone to its continued efforts in supporting economic and social development in Jerusalem by fostering technological innovation and entrepreneurship. This initiative reflects the visionary leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee, in empowering the Palestinian people and strengthening their creative and entrepreneurial capacities on the global stage.
