The Innovation and Digital Development Agency (IDDA), in collaboration with the renowned U.S.-based innovation company “Plug and Play,” has launched the “GOAL” (soft landing) program, aimed at accelerating high-potential startups’ access to the Silicon Valley ecosystem.
Throughout the program, startups will develop skills in strategic market entry, adaptation, competitive positioning, and investment attraction. Participants will also benefit from mentorship provided by leading experts from “Plug and Play” and gain access to valuable networking opportunities within Silicon Valley.
The program will run from April 13 to May 26, 2026, with the final two weeks taking place in Silicon Valley, home to some of the world’s leading technology companies.
