In the context of a dynamic Middle Eastern<br \/>\nentrepreneurial landscape, characterized by unique political, social, and economic dynamics, this<br \/>\nresearch aims to uncover the challenges and opportunities encountered by early-stage<br \/>\nentrepreneurs. Utilizing in-depth interviews, country profiles, and secondary data sources, the study<br \/>\nexplores the motivations, trajectories, funding sources, and sustainability of ventures in these sectors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">It also investigates the role of policy frameworks, institutions, networks, and market dynamics. Our<br \/>\nanalysis highlights that entrepreneurial success in Palestine, Jordan, and Egypt is shaped by the<br \/>\ncomplex interplay of resources, institutional frameworks, social capital, and ecosystem maturity. While resource constraints and institutional barriers are common challenges, the role of social capital<br \/>\nbecomes critical in navigating these gaps, particularly in weaker institutional contexts. However, each<br \/>\necosystem has unique dynamics shaped by political, economic, and cultural contexts, underscoring<br \/>\nthe need for tailored policy interventions to foster entrepreneurship and economic resilience. Policy<br \/>\nimplications include the need for tailored entrepreneurship support programs that address sector specific needs, enhance access to finance, foster cross-border collaboration, and strengthen<br \/>\ninstitutional frameworks to create more enabling environments for youth and women entrepreneurs.<br \/>\nAddressing these issues through targeted policy interventions, improved business support services,<br \/>\nand inclusive entrepreneurship programs is essential for fostering sustainable growth and unlocking<br \/>\nthe full potential of youth-led ventures in these diverse ecosystems.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Paper-FEMISE-9.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download the conference paper<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Abstract: This study conducts a comparative analysis of entrepreneurship [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":22895,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[230,15,243,7,4],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22894"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22894"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22894\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22901,"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22894\/revisions\/22901"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22895"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22894"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22894"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22894"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
