entrepreneurs to receive immediate assessments for financing during the event.

The service includes on-site advisory support, helping applicants check eligibility, prepare documents
and complete application steps.

to grow or expand their businesses in sectors such as healthcare, education, agriculture, technology,
tourism and industry.
