Sadeem Bootcamp for Entrepreneurship Empowerment in STEM Fields is an intensive training initiative implemented by the Roaya for Astronomy and Space Applications Foundation and funded by the U.S. Embassy in Libya.
This project aims to empower Libyan youth who have innovative ideas or entrepreneurial projects in STEM fields by providing appropriate training, resources, and guidance.
The primary focus of the project is to enhance the entrepreneurial environment in Libya, with the goal of creating a sustainable system that supports the development of entrepreneurial initiatives in these fields.
Beneficiaries of the first stage of the bootcamp include:
20 Libyan university students (10 from the East and 10 from the South) with innovative ideas or entrepreneurial projects in STEM fields.
Local communities that will benefit from job creation and economic growth.
Civil society organizations, government institutions, and the private sector interested in promoting entrepreneurship.
The bootcamp aims to empower entrepreneurship in STEM fields by providing a range of skills and services, including:
Providing training, resources, and guidance to young entrepreneurs in marginalized areas.
Developing a sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem in Libya.
Providing employment opportunities within marginalized local communities.
Increasing innovation and collaboration in STEM fields.
The camp aims to:
Empower Libyan students to develop their innovative ideas and entrepreneurial projects in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
Address the lack of support for young entrepreneurs due to conflict and economic challenges.
Enhance a sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem in Libya, supporting cooperation and innovation to achieve economic development.
The camp is named “Sadeem” (in English Nebula) to signify a cosmic incubator where stars are born. It represents a cosmic cloud providing the materials and conditions necessary for star birth. Similarly, our project will serve as the Sadeem supporting young people and university students graduating from STEM fields to embark on their journey in entrepreneurship
