Project Report | Apr 9, 2025

By Steven W. Stavrou & Burak Berk Doluay | Directors

Graduates from the AWE 2024/25 Cohort!
Graduates from the AWE 2024/25 Cohort!

As we kick off 2025, we’re excited to share some of our latest updates with you! The past few months have been full of energy — with innovative programs, vibrant networking, and exciting new developments taking shape.

At SocialTech Lab, we remain dedicated to expanding our global impact. Our team is focused on delivering meaningful opportunities through hands-on training, incubation, networking events, and hackathons. Across our platforms, young entrepreneurs are transforming their ideas into real-world solutions, building strong communities, and launching initiatives that drive change. In this update, we highlight some key initiatives that helped propel our impact, including:

  • Concluded our Academy for Women Entrepreneurs (AWE) Cyprus 2024/25, celebrating the graduation of 40+ women entrepreneurs during a ceremony held on January 17.
  • Implemented the Urban Innovators Academy (March 15–20), supported by EIT Urban Mobility, which brought together 40 bachelor’s students from across Europe to co-create sustainable urban mobility solutions in Cyprus.
  • Kicked off the NEB Grow incubation programme, supporting two winning teams from the Ignite Hackathon to turn their ideas into prototypes with €20K in grant funding and mentorship.

 As a community center, we also partner with other organisations to host impactful events at The Base:

  • Hosted the MEET Constellation program (January 27–30), part of MIT, bringing 15+ young future Israeli and Palestinian leaders to Cyprus for training, dialogue sessions, and visits.
  • Hosted the first bi-communal BridgeSTEAM (Girls in STEAM Academy, 8 Feb) with 15 girls from across Cyprus exploring the world of STEAM through interactive workshops and collaborative projects.
  • Hosted the pitching session for the Tech2Peace Hackathon (24 Feb) where young entrepreneurs from Israeli and Palestinian backgrounds came together to build joint startups leveraging tech.
  • Reconnected the AWE Cyprus cohorts on February 28, bringing together 60+ women for a networking evening to exchange experiences and strengthen the AWE spirit.

We’re also thrilled to share some of our accomplishments from this period with you:

  • Became partners of the EUSOME project, which kicked off its first activity on January 15, dedicated to advancing Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) in the Southeast Mediterranean region.
  • Became a Silver Partner of the EIT Urban Mobility network of ecosystem partners.

As we kick off 2025, we’re excited for the journey ahead, with new programs, impactful partnerships, and other opportunities. We deeply appreciate your continued support and the trust you've placed in our vision.
