Sprout: Growing tomorrow’s Innovators

The Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom (FNF) Beirut office, in collaboration with Injaz Lebanon, has actively championed the Sprout program. This initiative addresses the growing demand for innovative business development by providing advanced solutions that integrate sustainability, circular economy principles, and an introduction to the social market economy.

A Green Journey in 2024

Since its launch in July 2024, Sprout has brought together participants committed to promoting environmental awareness. The program combined several days of online training and coaching with a study tour in Mount Lebanon. This approach enabled participants to develop their green business concepts in preparation for an exciting Demo Day. The comprehensive trainings covered essential elements of business creation, empowering participants through capacity-building activities, including pitching techniques, public speaking skills, and sessions on entrepreneurship, sustainability, market analysis, and the social market economy.

Demo Day: The Culmination of Creativity

The program concluded with an e-Demo Day on November 30, where participants presented their innovative ideas for future implementation. This final showcase highlighted the impact of the program's training and coaching, with the teams demonstrating creativity, and a commitment to sustainability.

Through Sprout, FNF and Injaz Lebanon continue to support the growth of a new generation of green entrepreneurs, paving the way for a more sustainable future!
