AKTIFUL 2025-2026 Program Overview

Empowering the Next Generation Through STEM & Entrepreneurship

As we launch AKTIFUL, our mission is to drive meaningful impact through two key programs designed to bridge global connections and foster innovation.

Peer to Peer K-12 STEM Program

We are building a unique peer-to-peer (P2P) STEM collaboration between expat Bangladeshi K-12 students in the West (US, Canada, UK, Australia) and students in Bangladesh. This initiative is designed to:

✅ Enable cross-cultural STEM collaboration between students, fostering real-world problem-solving and innovation.
✅ Promote project-based learning, where students work together on challenges that enhance leadership, creativity, and technical skills.
✅ Facilitate bidirectional learning, ensuring knowledge exchange that benefits both expat and Bangladeshi students.

This program is about more than just STEM—it’s about building global relationships, nurturing leadership, and fostering an entrepreneurial mindset from an early age.

Micro Entrepreneur YC Program

Inspired by Y Combinator, our accelerator supports early-stage micro startups with:

✅ Funding & mentorship to help founders take their ideas from concept to reality.
✅ Advisory & networking opportunities to connect with industry leaders.
✅ Cutting-edge technology support to accelerate growth.

What makes our model different? Unlike traditional VC-backed accelerators, AKTIFUL is a Social Business. Our equity stake in each startup gradually reduces to ZERO over five years, ensuring that founders retain full ownership as their businesses mature.

By blending the best of YC-style acceleration with a social enterprise model, we empower micro-entrepreneurs to build sustainable, long-term impact.
