“This booklet showcases 21 businesses that are part of the Enterprise Development Fund-Innovation (EDF-I) 2024 cohort, supported by the International Organization for Migration (IOM). EDF-I focuses on fostering innovation and entrepreneurship in Iraq, providing financial and technical support to youth-led, tech-based startups.

The booklet highlights enterprises from a wide range of sectors, including software solutions, online education, tourism, e-commerce, and sustainable agriculture. The initiative aims to promote post-conflict recovery and job creation, especially among the youth, with a significant portion of businesses led by women. By supporting these innovative businesses, EDF-I is helping to create sustainable economic opportunities in Iraq's nascent tech and startup ecosystem​.”
