About TFEI
The story and values behind the program
At BCITE, our programs are shaped not only by strategy and expertise, but by the values of individuals who believe deeply in youth, innovation, and opportunity. Mr. Tawfiq Fakhouri represents these values with exceptional clarity and purpose. In recognition of his enduring support for youth empowerment and his strong belief in innovation and entrepreneurship, BCITE proudly named its Startup Acceleration Program in his honour.
Mr. Fakhouri believed that entrepreneurship is more than business creation — it is a pathway to dignity, resilience, and long-term economic empowerment. He consistently supported initiatives that enable young people to transform ideas into viable ventures, equipping them with the confidence, skills, and mindset needed to succeed in complex and evolving environments.
This legacy continues today through his family. Mr. Fakhouri’s family have remained committed to advancing his vision and sustaining his impact, ensuring the continued development and support of the program. In particular, Samir Al Fakhouri has played a key role in carrying this commitment forward, reinforcing the family’s belief in youth, innovation, and entrepreneurship as engines of lasting change.
