2019 Startup Roadshow Competition for Syrian Entrepreneurs

Deadline: August 25, 2019.

Taking on a tour in search of the top Syrian-led startups across the Middle East, the roadshow is calling on Syrian students, young professionals, and entrepreneurs with business ideas to transform them into startups ready to take on the world.

They are looking for the relentless spirits, the inventive minds, and the transformers who turn problems into challenges and take on the entrepreneurial journey with unquenchable thirst. They are looking for those who question the word impossible and believe their dreams are stronger than the odds. Are you one of them?
