Iraq Challenges & Our Solutions
Challenges
A) Lack of Financial Support
Finance is crucial in forming, expanding and sustaining firms, and unfortunately, insufficient funding have brought many promising & great start-up ideas to dead ends.
B) Insufficient Data
A well-researched project is definitely a project of success. Lack of data hinders the proper initiation & growth of firms.
C) Poor Education System
Integrating entrepreneurship in academic courses, and encouraging students to think outside the box can help graduates become self-sufficient & enroll themselves in entrepreneurial initiatives.
D) Gender Inequality
Women constitute nearly half of our community, and their skills can help grow business and positively impact the ecosystem. Precluding women from a start-up, due to cultural conservation, can actually impede its success.
E) Lack of Motivation
Motivation keeps any business alive and innovative. If absent, due to discouraging social/cultural norms & lack of awareness of what entrepreneurship is, a project cannot be initiated & sustained.

B) Research & Publications
