Between April 25 and May 1, Palestine Techno Park hosted AI Week — a packed week of conversations, builds, and policy thinking around where AI fits in Palestine's economy. Momentum Labs had the privilege of contributing across three different moments:

· AI Hackathon (organized by Taawon (Welfare Association)) — Sari Taha, our Managing Partner, served on the judging panel and helped shape the evaluation criteria for the operating models and early-stage products the teams pitched.

· YIELD Workshop on AI & the Blue/Green/Circular Economy — Selected by International to run a practical AI session with the YIELD participants, offering technical guidance as youth teams shaped feasible, AI-driven solutions, and contributing to the evaluation of their final pitches.

· AI Policy Focus Group (organized by PITA) — Momentum Labs facilitated the focus group session led by our Director of Research Zayne Abudaka and CTO Mohammed Abu Qare as part of a national AI roadmap conversation.

Three different angles — startups, youth innovation, and policy — and a reminder of how much serious work is happening here. Grateful to some of the trusted partners shaping Palestine's development sectors, and to play our small part in moving this conversation forward.

Thank you to Palestine Techno Park and everyone who organized.

Momentum Labs was established at the end of 2019 with a strong belief that young, educated individuals taking risks to challenge the status quo are the core driver of positive change. By embracing this vision, we began to attract talent and expand our team.

Yousef, who joined our team in 2022, spoke with Wired ME, explaining his decision to return to Palestine and his alignment with Momentum's mission. He also shared perspectives from the resilient Palestinian ecosystem, highlighting efforts to create products and solutions that not only serve local markets but also offer value across borders.

While proud of our achievements, we recognize the journey ahead is demanding. With the right talent, mindsets, and hard work, we aspire to build and scale impactful companies and products in Palestine, the region and beyond.

Palestinian startups are hampered by occupation and poor investment, but there’s talent and belief in abundance to create a successful story.
