The two power houses make for an ideal partnership, as Google is known as the ultimate hub of innovation and TechWadi has the span of connections to myriad entrepreneurs with ideas that just may change the world.
At a recent panel event, hosted by Google, some of the brightest minds from the MENA region came together to discuss the burgeoning entrepreneur scene in the Arab World. The panel included Mo Gawdat, the Vice President of Business Innovation at Google X, Rana El Kaliouby, the co-founder and CSO of Affectiva, Hala Fadel, the woman behind the $75 million Leap VC fund, and Sharif Badawi, the Partner Lead of VCs and Startups at Google.
