We are excited at the responses we are receiving to our call for applications for this round of start-up support at Leaders Business Development Centre. Judging by generic indicators, our website is seeing over 200% increase in traffic, over 5 minutes average time on site and more than 5 pages per visit on average. Over 60% of this traffic is coming from Palestine. We are now concerned about how much traffic our host can handle. Well, OK, this is an exaggeration, but we are excited. Our Facebook page is also seeing similar activity.

We have received a large number of enquiries and questions as well about our programme. We feel with this amount of interest we need to dedicate some time to respond in person to the questions that entrepreneurs might have. This is why we decided to dedicate a full day on Sunday 5^th of February as our open day. We will receive all entrepreneurs and provide them with one on one sessions with two of our senior staff members working on the programme. In this open day, you will also get a chance to see the facilities on offer and speak to some of the businesses currently being incubated at Leaders.

It so happens that the 5^th of February is our deadline for applications. In order to give prospective entrepreneurs a chance to learn about the programme and apply, we decided to shift the deadline by one week. So the new deadline will be on the 12^th of February.

Everyone is welcome to attend our open day. It will start at 09:00 and run until 17:00. We appreciate if you can drop us a line on This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it in order for us to get a better understanding of the expected attendance.
