Entering the Saudi Market, and Global Trends for 2013: MixNMentor Panel Part 4 [Wamda TV]

Wamda •

In the 4th segment of the final panel at the Wamda MixnMentor Dubai event this November, Brian Sigafoos of Duplays discusses why he moved to the Arab world and how the Duplays team built the platform to offer the population alternatives to socializing in bars or over shisha.

Brian and Fadi Ghandour, CEO of Aramex, then discuss their challenges entering the Saudi Arabian market. Entrepreneurs may think it's hard today, Fadi explains, but Aramex spent 14 years working to get a license and tried 6 or 7 partners until they found the right one.

Finally, Joi Ito to explain some of the (mindblowing) technological developments that he witnesses at the MIT Media Lab that could change the face of entrepreneurship today.
