Will Tech Startups Ever Become Cool In The Middle East?
July 15, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui
Knowledge@Warton on the buzz around startups in the Middle East:
No one will mistake the Middle East for Silicon Valley any time soon. But the buzz around startups is unmistakable. There is a nascent technology press emerging to cover the Arabic tech scene and networks of entrepreneurs are growing. After years of looking to the United States for financing, a handful of Arabic venture capital firms and angel investors have been established. At the same time, various other public- and private-sector initiatives have been launched to boost the regional entrepreneurial economy.
Only time will tell if this is a fad or a real trend.
