Driven by a sense of commitment to society, Dalia volunteers to serve as a mentor or a judge to start-up projects of young entrepreneurs, which triggered her to later initiate the establishment of EdVentures in 2017. EdVentures is considered MENA’s first corporate venture capital specializing in education, culture and innovative learning solutions.
In 2021, and in order to provide solutions to unemployment based on demand-driven solutions to create a significant positive impact; Dalia founded Ta’heal for VET Skills Excellence, which is a niche service provider working with employers and governments to identify competencies and skills needed in accordance with national and international markets, to improve the availability and quality of the potential and existing workforce.
