From a need born an Entity to Coordinate The Efforts
Irada Foundation was born from an in-depth analysis of the Iraqi entrepreneurial ecosystem, recognizing the need for a dedicated entity to foster collaboration between startups, support hubs, government bodies, and international organizations. During a series of open dialogues led by key stakeholders, it became clear that Iraq’s fragmented ecosystem required a unifying force to bridge gaps, promote growth, and streamline communication across sectors.
Irada serves as a hub, promoting entrepreneurship and supporting startup ecosystems throughout Iraq. We are committed to enhancing collaboration, providing strategic monitoring and evaluation, and launching impactful awareness programs. Our mission is to support the private sector, empower Iraqi entrepreneurs, and ensure that businesses can access the resources they need to succeed.
At Irada, we believe in the power of innovation and the role of entrepreneurship in shaping a prosperous future for Iraq. Through our network, we bring together key stakeholders to create opportunities, drive economic development, and position Iraq as a leading player in the global entrepreneurial landscape.
