What is Smart-X?

Smart-X is a technology oriented business startup accelerator that is funded by United States Agency for International Development (USAID). It is focused on competitively funding & supporting startups on both sides of the Green Line! 

Smart-X provides competitively selected startups an intense, cohort-based fixed-term acceleration program. Smart-X is the 1st  program of its kind & we believe this is an untapped opportunity that can leverage the expansion of a combined ecosystem that connects two currently disconnected ecosystems & the startup teams’ creative mix, access, networks & their varied experiences. This combined with the Smart-X expertise & networks we believe would result in a huge value greater than the sum of its individual parts & that would have impact not only on the startups but on the ecosystem at large.
