The Center for Digital Entrepreneurship (CODE) under the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (MCIT) is an enabler for the technology sector and acts as a supportive community for entrepreneurs and those interested in the field of technology by launching a program that stimulates and offers services that cater to the specific needs of leaders in the field.
The CODE Club’s target members are aspiring entrepreneurs and emerging startup owners within the tech field. That group also includes interested individuals such as experts, specialists, and investors with the goal of creating a diverse network of experiences and work backgrounds, presenting them with a range of services that cater to their needs.
The CODE Club members are divided into 4 levels: Code X, Code 01, Code 02, and Code 03. Each tier is designed to accommodate different qualifications, individual services, and special perks that increase as you move up to the next stage.
Each tier or level caters to a specific need or goal based on how developed your emerging startup is and its needs. The members are divided based on the specific qualifications that determine the level at which the startup stands. Based on the level, we will provide the support that is needed for your startup to succeed.
Members will undergo a cycle of evaluations every 3 months to measure their growth. A startup or member will then move up to the next tier or level, or remain in the same level based on their evaluation results.
