LAMP for Technical Education and Entrepreneurship Production Organization, established on April 21, 2021, is a dedicated local NGO operating within the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Our primary goal is to empower unemployed and underserved youth, including those from local communities, refugees, and internally displaced persons (IDPs), by providing them with technical training and nurturing an entrepreneurial spirit to foster capitalism. Our team consists of many well-educated professionals, most of whom have completed their education in Western Europe and the United States. We are committed to overcoming the challenges left by over sixty years of reliance on the Soviet economic model, which led to state-dominated investment, dependency on natural resources, scarcity of local consumer goods, minimal international trade, state ownership of industrial entities, and a heavy dependence on public sector employment.

We were among the first who introduced the concept of the Entrepreneurship Development Program in 2016, setting a new standard for fostering entrepreneurial skills and mindset in the Kurdistan Region. Even before this, in 2015, we broke new ground by integrating 3D printing into the academic curriculum, a first-of-its-kind initiative that positioned us at the forefront of educational innovation. Our commitment to excellence and forward-thinking did not stop there; we also became the first to incorporate the Toyota Production System into our curriculum, further evidence of our ability to lead and innovate in educational methodologies.

We are a collective of visionaries, thinkers, and doers, capable of transcending conventional boundaries to introduce groundbreaking concepts. Despite our capacity for significant contributions, the geographical challenges of our region led us to adopt a strategic approach, choosing to cultivate our strengths quietly and with purpose. Our contributions, though not always visible, have been shaping the future of education and entrepreneurship in profound ways.

Today, we emerge onto the field with a wealth of knowledge, experience, and innovation that we believe is unmatched by any incubator or accelerator in the region. Our rich background, characterized by firsts in educational and entrepreneurial advancements, positions us uniquely to lead, inspire, and transform the ecosystem of startups and entrepreneurship in Kurdistan and beyond.

We are now ready to share our latent strengths with the community, confident in our assertion that no incubator or accelerator in the region can parallel the depth and breadth of our experience. As we step forward, we invite you to join us in this journey of innovation and impact, where the limits of what's possible are redefined by our collective imagination and commitment to excellence.
