Introduction.
The Covid-19 pandemic affected mainly people not only in health issues
but also economic issues, as it left many people unemployed in the
country, there are still 14.5% of people unemployed, and most people
took the initiative to undertake because most people needed an economic
livelihood to support themselves and their families.

Unemployment in the country and that despite the crisis of Covid there
were people who had the creativity and ability to create that product that
helped meet the needs of people, mainly is that this margin of
unemployment can be reduced with ideas and that unemployed people
get that economic livelihood with which they can live in a dignified
manner, twelve innovative entrepreneurs were taken with the
opportunity that they can give confidence to people who are not familiar

with this field of entrepreneurship.
