The project aims to transfer knowledge, technology and expertise from Boeing, its partners and other international companies to young entrepreneurs through specialized programs, Abdullah told KUNA.

It also seeks to connect entrepreneurs and startups with global accelerators, including Boeing’s own accelerator programs, he said.

Abdullah described the hub as “a qualitative leap” in training young people involved in entrepreneurship.
