Nahda Tech Launches Tech Bootcamp in Damascus
to Bridge Skills Gap and Attract Regional Employers
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Damascus, Syria – May 4, 2025 – Recognizing the demand for accessible tech upskilling and employment across Syria, Nahda Tech is set to host its inaugural 2-day Bootcamp in Damascus this May 10–11, opening doors for regional collaboration and talent discovery.
Designed to upskill aspiring developers and career switchers, the Nahda Tech Bootcamp will provide hands-on training, mentorship, and direct connections with hiring partners who have pledged to recruit talent during the event. This initiative aims to address the tech skills gap in Syria, while spotlighting the untapped potential of Syrian talent to regional employers.
“Our mission is to empower young Syrians with real-world skills and connect them with meaningful employment,” said Nour Halabi, co-founder of Nahda Tech. “By inviting employers from the Gulf and across the Arab world, we aim to position Syria as a competitive and cost-effective hub for remote and outsourced tech talent.”
The initiative sets forth clear objectives:
- Raise awareness across the Gulf and MENA? region about Syria’s emerging tech ecosystem
- Encourage regional companies to consider Syrian talent for remote and freelance opportunities
- Highlight success stories from the bootcamp to inspire confidence and engagement
- Offer transportation and accommodation bursaries for attendees from further governorates to improve access to knowledge and partnerships in all of Syria
- Secure media coverage to amplify the reach of this movement
Targeting aspiring developers aged 18–35, career switchers, and regional tech recruiters, Nahda Tech leverages a focused media strategy that includes press interviews, guest opinion pieces in Arabic publications, influencer partnerships, and upcoming virtual events.
In addition to the May bootcamp, a larger Networking and Recruitment Event is scheduled for September, bringing together graduates, employers, and ecosystem supporters to further deepen collaboration and job placement.
Nahda Tech welcomes support from regional media, business leaders, and tech employers to maximize the impact of this promising grassroots effort.
