We are excited to announce KAPITA’s latest membership with Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs (ANDE), which is a global network of more than 280 member organizations in over 150 countries working to propel entrepreneurship in emerging markets.

KAPITA is now Part of an international ecosystem that aims to support small and growing businesses (SGBs) to create jobs, stimulate long-term economic growth, and produce environmental and social benefits. We are really happy to be part of ANDE as it will help us provide the following in the Iraqi Entrepreneurship Ecosystem:

• Unparalleled opportunities for networking, peer-learning, and collaboration, which will allow KAPITA to provide abundant opportunities to the startups in our ecosystem.

• Access to the ANDE member portal which contains a searchable database, knowledge library, and collaboration space, which will help KAPITA better its knowledge of entrepreneurship and build strong ecosystems for entrepreneurial growth in Iraq.

• ANDE provides several funding opportunities to its members and this will help KAPITA spur more creative and collaborative investments in SGBs and uncover how SGBs contribute to poverty alleviation and economic growth.
