Sulaymaniyah National Entrepreneurship Summit SNE

The Sulaymaniyah National Entrepreneurship Summit (SNE) is the culminating event of Iraq’s Youth Entrepreneurship Bootcamp, implemented under the direct supervision of the Prime Minister of Iraq and the High Council for Youth.

More than a summit, SNE is a national movement that bridges divides and connects Iraq’s entrepreneurial ecosystem—bringing together startups, Incubators, Accelerators, investors, universities, development partners, and policymakers from every region. It serves as a powerful platform for 125 young entrepreneurs to showcase their ventures, exchange ideas, and build partnerships that drive innovation and inclusive growth.

Through keynotes, exhibitions, pitch sessions, and policy dialogues, SNE celebrates Iraq’s youth as catalysts for economic and social transformation. In alignment with Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) 2025, the summit positions Iraq as an active contributor to the global entrepreneurship movement.
