The MENA Startup Ecosystem Comes Together In Sharjah

In its second edition, the 2018 Sharjah Entrepreneurship Festival sees more than 3,000 people in attendance.
Dubbed the fastest growing entrepreneurship festival in the region, the two-day SharjahEF event is the brainchild of the Sharjah Entrepreneurship Center, Sheraa. “SharjahEF is a prestigious platform that enables ecosystem stakeholders to network and collaborate with like-minded members of the region's entrepreneurship community, fueling them with the spirit and passion to build a better future, and providing them with the opportunity to scout for investment and mentorship,” said Najla Al Midfa, CEO, Sheraa. “What makes this festival different is that it emphasizes constructive conversations on the challenges faced by the ecosystem, on the opportunities that are being created, and on how to take your startup to the next level. Sheraa has established itself as a key player in this ecosystem, and the success of SharjahEF furthers our vision of making Sharjah a hub for innovation and entrepreneurship.”

The SharjahEF 2018 edition featured Emaar Properties Chairman Mohamed Alabbar, VaynerX Chairman Gary Vaynerchuk, Huda Beauty co-founders Huda and Mona Kattan, MindValley founder Vishen Lakhiani, Decoded CEO Kathryn Parsons, Samasource founder Leila Janah, author and research neuroscientist Baroness Susan Greenfield, Mumzworld founder Mona Ataya, BMB Group cofounder Bilal Ballout, Saudi serial entrepreneur Adwa Al- Dakheel, and many others.
