Beirut To Host A “StartupWeekend”

If you have a smart idea for an online business, you might want to check this out: ,

The idea is very simple, you join us on the first day of the weekend with a group of highly motivated developers, product, marketing, graphic and business guys and girls together, you team up, decide on an idea, code and deliver a prototype on Sunday […] VCs and experts will be spending walking around the venue and giving some short talks in the hope of scouting the next big thing! Winning teams will receive prizes and recognition

I’m really hoping for the best of luck to all participants and I applaud YallaStartup and the event’s sponsors. But I’ll repeat what I always say: As long as our infrastructure in communications is obsolete (Internet + telecom + electricity ) we can’t really have a thriving tech scene.
