It also organizes meetings that bring together entrepreneurs, startups, and business owners, fostering collaboration, and sharing of experiences, and providing a platform to track company progress while benefiting from expert support.
The incubator also hosts the Fortnyt Series, a series of fortnightly workshops designed to offer mentor-to-entrepreneur and peer-to-peer technical assistance. Additionally, the hub has launched the Young Professionals Program, geared towards supporting recent graduates and those entering the job market. This program focuses on equipping young individuals with practical skills and knowledge highly sought after in the job market, enhancing their job readiness.
