Netaj deal with Haeiz to Support Iraqi Entrepreneurs
By John Lee.
Netaj, an Iraqi platform for innovation and entrepreneurial support, has announced a series of strategic partnerships, " aimed at enabling thousands of Iraqi youth to enter the e-commerce space with the tools and support they need to succeed. "
Among the most notable collaborations is one with Haeiz, which it describes as a leading digital retail platform that will support aspiring entrepreneurs by helping them build online stores, receive marketing and technical training, and access the market effectively.
The deal was signed at an event held recently in Baghdad, which brought together private sector leaders, senior government representatives, ambassadors, diplomats, and experts from across economic and technology sectors.
The event also highlighted the progress of Nawat, Iraq's first Venture Studio, launched by Netaj earlier this year. According to a statement from Netaj, Nawat currently supports over 40 startups across various sectors and is building a dedicated $2 million investment fund to accelerate their growth.
Dr. Wissam Mattout, CEO of Netaj, said:
"At Netaj, we are committed to empowering youth and businesses through practical tools and real investment. We don't just fund - we build complete support systems that include training, mentorship, planning, and market access. We believe digital transformation starts with people."
