cewas Middle East’s entrepreneurship activities in Jordan started in April 2017 with the first dedicated start-up programme for entrepreneurs and professionals with a strong motivation to create financially viable solutions for the water, sanitation and waste sector.

During the course, entrepreneurs have been trained and supported in the formation of their business or project with advanced training modules, business coaching and consulting by sector experts and an extensive regional and international network.
cewas Middle East & INJAZ are offering a 12-months incubation support for entrepreneurs with an innovative business idea that creates environmental, economic and social impact in Jordan and the region.
10-15 start-up teams will be selected to join an incredible opportunity to build a water, sanitation or waste idea into a business, with expert trainings, access to cash financing and green investors, international exposure and a community of like minded changemakers!
