For the first time since its launch in 2005, the MIT Enterprise Forum Arab Startup Competition, operated in partnership with Abdul Latif Jameel Community Initiatives, is offering a Global Track, whereby successful companies can solicit advice from Silicon Valley experts and International VCs on how to scale their business globally. 

Other tracks include the Ideas Track, for people with an exciting idea who are curious about how to apply it, and the Startups Track, for entrepreneurs with working prototypes and some sales, who need advice on the next step.

Previous winners include Instabug's Omar Gabr (2012-13), and Instabeat's Hind Hobeika (2011-12).

The application process is rolling until February 2014, but organizers recommend submitting as early as possible, here.
