Who are the urban stakeholders you need to address to scale your business in cities? In our daily work, we see how difficult it can be to fully understand the dynamics of urban ecosystems. Each city constitutes a different array of stakeholders, a mix of their soft and hard influences and interests. Startups require this knowledge to grow their business successfully but do not always have the right resources for that. This is when the Cities ABC framework comes into place. We have partnered with With Company to design an online workshop to broaden your understanding of business opportunities in urban areas while equipping you with the strategies necessary to effectively engage with various stakeholders.

🚀 Yotzim who start their own small business after leaving Haredi society often share the same struggles – marketing, pricing, perfecting the product...and the additional difficulty of self-employment without the relevant background or networking. That's why, after speaking with self-employed Yotzim and exploring the market, we partnered with the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality to create a new course tailored for small business owners. The course will guide participants step by step through building their business and personal brand and provide every entrepreneur with the practical tools they need to succeed in the business world. And just as importantly, it will connect Yotzim with like-minded peers and build a supportive community of professionals and entrepreneurs who are navigating similar experiences. like our other services, the course is completely free. The successful integration of Yotzim into the workforce is not only a personal achievement for them, but a remarkable return on investment for Israeli society. simply put, it's just good business! 🌱 🔗 Registration link in the comments Tel Aviv Yafo Municipality #Entrepreneurship #BusinessSuccess #Innovation #Community #TelAviv #Startups
