“uMake is just different. The community here is simply amazing. All the members, the uMakers, are high-profile individuals who are making waves in their respective industries.”
– Community Member, Ashraf Awawda
The alternative? Inspire, create, and grow!
So what does being community-centric mean? For uMake it means putting our community of founders, innovators, and changemakers first. “Community” is an integral part of uMake’s DNA, and the uMake community has been a driving force behind the development and growth of uMake over the years. Their contributions to building a sustainable tech ecosystem have been the building block of everything that is uMake today:
SPACE: in every sense of the word. Whether you’re in need of a desk in our coworking space, a private office – or perhaps you want to rent a meeting or conference room: we have you covered!
ENTREPRENEURSHIP: not only is uMake home to some of Palestine’s most promising startups – through our three-tiered training programs we offer support to all aspiring entrepreneurs, promising founders, and emerging startups.
COMMUNITY: a place of safety that encourages growth, enables learning, and empowers. uMake makes for the ideal playground for founders, innovators, and changemakers to come together and learn and grow from each other’s experiences.

Our programs: a defined pathway for founders
Establishing a self-sustaining tech ecosystem with a mantra of “paying it forward” is a fundamental pillar upon which uMake as an innovation hub is built. In addition to providing a physical space for community members to inspire, create, and grow, uMake wanted to go the extra mile by laying out a clear pathway to success for any budding founders – regardless of the stage of their journey!
Through our three levels of entrepreneurship training we aim to support:
Aspiring founders curious to learn more about
entrepreneurship → through Startup Weekends
Promising founders hustling to validate their business
idea → through the acclaimed Founder Institute
Emerging startups looking for funding in order to scale and
grow → through the IGNITE investment readiness program
These three levels of training have been developed and implemented in collaboration with internationally renowned organisations like Techstars, the Founder Institute, and the World Bank. By doing so uMake not only provides entrepreneurs and innovators access to world-class training resources with a proven track record – we facilitate border-transitioning networking opportunities with world-class professionals and mentors.
“uMake is a place where we can expand our networking, enrich our knowledge, learn how to set plans, and know exactly how to build the business we’re dreaming of. It is invaluable to be surrounded by ideators, changemakers who are all ready and willing to help the second you ask for it!”
– Community Member and Founder of Flowless, Baker Bozeyeh
How can you get involved?
If you’re looking for new CSR opportunities, uMake has a proposition for you: rather than viewing CSR as Corporate Social Responsibility, we suggest renaming it Corporate Startup Reciprocity. By reshaping your approach to innovation and embracing rather than avoiding the fast-paced startup scene, your company doesn’t just stay relevant – you directly position yourself in the context of the tech innovation scene in Palestine. By supporting uMake you gain access to an already existing structure (with a proven track record), a thriving community of innovators, and a global network of experts – all without having to create your own costly interventions.
So what are some ways for you to get involved? You can:
– Sponsor our space or one of our programs
– Offer your services as business service providers
– Rent space: from from desks to meeting rooms and conference rooms
– Co-create events, trainings, or other activities
– Provide offers or benefits exclusive to the uMake community members
In short: supporting uMake is the best way for you to support the Palestinian technology and innovation community – and ultimately leave your mark on the future of the Palestine startup ecosystem.
