The 6th cohort is dedicated to acceleration. Over five months, from September 2026 to January 2027, it supports Palestinian startups that have a working product, to bring them to commercial traction, prepare their expansion to Palestine, Morocco and the Gulf countries, and structure a pre-seed or seed fundraising.
Six new startups were selected from 280 applications, after a call run on social media, a roadshow with Al-Quds University and direct sourcing; they join six startups from earlier cohorts. The programme follows the BMAQ Acceleration Wheel: 21 weeks, 80% practice, and every week a workshop, a mentoring or experience-sharing session and a measured deliverable, on the BMAQ Founder Wall platform.
Key dates: mock pitch on 25 November 2026, immersion week in Dubai with the Expand North Star exhibition (8–10 December 2026), then Demo Day on 8 January 2027.
Partners: Ministry of Digital Transition and Administrative Reform, Digital Development Agency, BCITE (operating partner in Palestine) and Al-Quds University, with the 1337 school, UM6P and ENCG Casablanca.
