Nov. 17, 2009GEW is great and there seems to be multiple countries in the Arab world that are taking part this year. Does the promotion of entrepreneurship need to be tackled very differently throughout the region?
Do we need to also have a regional focus / collaboration - e.g. Arab Innovation Month?

Nov. 17, 2009Hi Kevin. You're right - there is GEW taking place officially in Bahrain, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
I am not from this region so wouldn't know whether the differences between culture/context are sufficient enough to require a very different approach to entrepreneurship promotion... I imagine there would be some need for tailoring, but not enough to hinder regional collaboration.
I'd be all for an Arab Innovation Month!
