Our top stories from 2021

This past year has been an incredibly dynamic one for the entrepreneurship ecosystem across the Middle East and North Africa. We have witnessed more exits than ever before, record-breaking investment deals and the continued boom of digitisation across industries. The startup ecosystems across the region differ in their levels of maturity, but one thing is becoming clear – innovation is a necessity and startups are a crucial part of enabling innovation.   

Below is a small sample of our top stories of 2021: 

We also published two reports this year:

How Covid-19 unlocked the adoption of e-commerce in the Mena region, published in partnership with the The Legatum Center for Development and Entrepreneurship at MIT.

The impact of Covid-19 on the state of mental health and wellbeing of entrepreneurs in Mena, published in partnership with Microsoft for Startups.
