At MENANOVA, collaboration is the cornerstone of sustainable innovation. Through strategic partnerships with universities, corporations, and government entities, we create a connected ecosystem that nurtures AI-first startups from idea to global scale.

We collaborate with ministries, AI offices, and regional investors to co-create startup weekends, workshops, and innovation challenges that accelerate AI-first entrepreneurship across the region.
