• MedWaves is proud to announce the successful facilitation of eleven commercial connections between buyers and green entrepreneurs from The Switchers Products Platform. These collaborations mark a significant milestone in advancing sustainable trade and promoting eco-innovation.  
• Led by MedWaves under the Switchers Support Programme, this initiative empowers sustainable businesses by facilitating market access, client connections, and sales growth. 

Strengthening Market Connections 

Ten Switchers operating in eco-tourism (Keepers of the Forest, TLB Destinations, Hotel Mas Pelegrí); textile, furniture and home decor (Gebraa, Aisha Design, Au Grain de Sesame, IDYR, Estudio Varali, Handmade Palestine); and cosmetics (Savvy Element) have been linked with seven seven established companies, including online marketplaces (MyTindy, WildFabrik, ForPalestine.dk), travel agencies (Smart Travel Planet and Tarannà Viajes), resource efficiency companies (Go Zero Waste) and a bookstore (Llibreria Altaïr). These partnerships are paving the way for increased visibility and market access for sustainable businesses. As a result of these connections, nine pre-deal agreements have been signed. Under these agreements, Switchers provided detailed product and service offers, while potential buyers committed to evaluating them and offering feedback. 

Building Trust and Collaboration  

In most cases, meetings were arranged between buyers and Switchers to facilitate direct introductions and product presentations. During these discussions, buyers outlined their operations, including logistics, pricing structures, stock availability, and shipping processes. Meanwhile, Switchers detailed their production capacity, manufacturing processes, service offerings, pricing, product availability, quality control measures, and service conditions. 

These exchanges proved invaluable in fostering trust and establishing a strong foundation for collaboration. They marked just the beginning of ongoing conversations, and we look forward to sharing updates on their progress soon. 

Expanding Market Reach: A Strategic B2B Outreach Campaign 

To connect Switchers with potential buyers, we launched a targeted B2B outreach and engagement campaign in collaboration with our strategic partner, REVOLVE. More than 100 companies and over 500 LinkedIn professionals across the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, and North America were contacted. This initiative spanned multiple sectors, including textiles, accessories, jewelry, cosmetics, ecotourism, waste management, and restaurant services, reinforcing market connections and opening new business opportunities for sustainable entrepreneurs. 

Empowering Green Entrepreneurs & Driving Sustainable Growth with MedWaves 

This initiative, led by MedWaves as part of the Switchers Support Programme, helps sustainable businesses access markets, connect with clients, and boost sales. Our Centre offers continuous support in supporting eco-innovation and accelerating the transition to a greener economy. By bridging the gap between sustainability-driven businesses and market demand, these agreements strengthen the green economy and drive impactful environmental change.  

Why This Matters: 

• Empowering Green Entrepreneurs – By connecting sustainable businesses with buyers, we help The Switchers scale their impact, reach new markets, and grow their ventures. 
• Boosting the Green Economy – These partnerships contribute to a more sustainable economic model, where responsible consumption and production go hand in hand. 
• Tackling Environmental Challenges – By supporting businesses that offer circular, low-carbon, and eco-friendly solutions, we are actively contributing to the fight against climate change and pollution. 
• Creating Market Demand – Strengthening commercial links between sustainable suppliers and buyers fosters long-term business relationships that drive the transition to a greener future. 

This is just the beginning! Stay tuned for more collaborations, success stories, and opportunities to support green entrepreneurship.
