Five One Labs and AUK Announce the Launch of Ignite and Incubator Program

As a part of our partnership with the American University of Kurdistan - Duhok, Five One Labs presents (Ignite), a pre-incubator program that prepares participants in their journey to start a business. This program is a precursor to a long-term program that serves the community in Duhok to turn their ideas into reality.

This program is the first of its kind in the city, and it aims at bringing the innovative young community closer and establishing the basis for moving youth towards starting their own businesses.

The program is two weeks long, and participants have to:

1- Have an innovative & scalable startup idea!

2- You must complete this application form.

3- You must  be accepted and invited to join the Ignite program:

A two-week pre-incubator program that will give early-stage entrepreneurs the skills necessary to know whether they have a winning business idea. During the two-week program, entrepreneurs will get high-quality training, networking opportunities, and much more to make their business idea *perfect* for their customers and *viable* in the market.

4- Meet the Ignite program requirements, submit a feasibility study and present a pitch deck of your business!
