Has successfully completed the Swedish Institute leadership programme Impact Pioneers '26 MENA - Enabling Climate Entrepreneurship and Innovation.

The programme convened leaders and ecosystem enablers from seven countries, representing organisations and networks that support impact driven entrepreneurship and innovation across the Middle East and North Africa.

Programme activities ran from May to October 2026 and included participatory weekly online sessions, coaching support, individual project work, and a one-week onsite module in Sweden from 26 September to 2 October 2026.

Through the exchange, participants have gained new knowledge and inspiration to support individual, organisational and ecosystem development. The programme has also offered participants an expanded regional network of peers and of Swedish actors and organisations.

Upon completion of the programme, participants become members of the Sweden Alumni Network, an extensive global network of leaders sharing the common aim of developing sustainable business and leadership practices across the globe.
