Silatech

Silatech is an International social development nonprofit non-governmental organization, that works on connecting youth wherever they are to jobs and enable resources for them to establish and sustain successful enterprises through providing innovative solutions to its local, regional and international partners. The organization promotes large-scale job creation, entrepreneurship, access to capital and markets, and the participation of young people in economic development thus contributing to the attainment of a number of Sustainable Development Goals. Silatech was formally launched at the Alliance of Civilizations Forum in January 2008 by Her Highness, Sheikha Moza Bint Nasser. With youth at the center of her vision, Silatech's mission is to empower youth to act as agents of change to build a better future for the coming generations. The name "Silatech", which comes from the Arabic word "Sila" meaning connection, was inspired by Her Highness Sheikha Moza Bint Nasser. Silatech remains true to its name as it continues to connect youth with employment opportunities.
