- Youth and education
SPARK! aims to create an entrepreneurial ecosystem in developing countries in order to create a domestic enterprise that leads to rapid and sustainable economic growth. Headquartered in Egypt with operations in several Mediterranean countries, SPARK! has created a talent pipeline to include high school students, college students and fulltime entrepreneurs through its diverse pioneering programs. This talent pipeline brings in youth with high potential and gives them the resources they need to act on and fulfill that potential, producing high impact leaders and entrepreneurs every year that bring about the much needed change in their societies. After the rollout of the entrepreneurial ecosystem is complete in Egypt, SPARK! aspires to replicate this in other regions since the program has been designed with a modular, scalable and inter-regional approach. Moreover, SPARK!’s long-term objective is to create a revolutionary educational system for K-12 and university programs that would produce leaders similar to the renaissance generation.
SPARK! hosts a number of programs targeting 3 different age groups: SPARK! Mediterranean Summer Camp for promising students from top high schools to further develop their life skills and to equip them with the know-how to develop their ideas into business plans. Its Entrepreneurship Summer Program tailored for exceptional college students who have demonstrated strong entrepreneurial initiative. The program equips them with the tools and skills they need to turn their ideas into businesses and social ventures. This is in addition to the topic-based programs for college students such as the product design program and the web and mobile application program. Furthermore, the SPARK! Venture Launch Pad targets early stage startups and supports them by providing them with seed funding, office space, a strong mentor network and overheads such as legal, accounting, consulting & marketing support, in addition to taking an active role in developing their strategy and business model.
