Programs for Students

At Bedaya Center we provide multiple programs that support entrepreneurs in all stages of their journey. We provide workshops, advising sessions, mentoring programs, networking sessions, promotional support in addition to programs tailored to specific startup needs.

• Business Enterprise Challenge:

  The Enterprise Challenge Qatar is an annual national competition which increases young people’s knowledge, understanding and enthusiasm about business and enterprise. Through an online business game, students experience a realistic business scenario where they produce, develop and market a new product. The competition encourages students to learn how different components of business come together to determine success, and to develop a spirit of entrepreneurship. Key to the Enterprise Challenge is the support offered by volunteer mentors, whose real-life experience of business enables them to advise and coach students through the various stages of the competition. This program is sponsored by Shell
