ScaleUp!

ScaleUp!

In Lebanon, ScaleUp! equips young Lebanese women and men ("DOT Interns") with facilitation skills and trains them to deliver business development and technology curricula to help Lebanese entrepreneurs and budding small business owners grow their enterprises.

Young leaders helping microenterprises grow and prosper.

DOT Interns delivering the ScaleUp! program are young graduates from Lebanese universities with backgrounds in business who act as trainers, mentors, and coaches. They provide business and information, communication, and technology (ICT) knowledge to entrepreneurs and small business owners.

The ScaleUp! program equips new entrepreneurs with tools and capabilities that will help them to expand existing business and services, enhance financial management, and use technology for resource and organizational systems. The program emphasizes scaling businesses for sustainable development and recognizing existing opportunities that can lead to job creation.
