This Incubation Program is a program designed and managed by BERYTECH under the DAWERR Activity, a 5-year Activity funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) with the goal to establish sustainable and replicable integrated solid waste diversion and valorization solutions in rural areas of Lebanon.

DAWERR through Berytech has designed a program to walk step-by-step with the 3 winning organizations to help them build the digital Clearinghouse marketplace for recyclables. Phase 1 is a 3- month validation program to help them validate their assumptions and finalize their solution details.
