How can governments better support entrepreneurs? [Wamda TV]

Nina Curley •

At the World Economic Forum Meeting in Jordan this May, Wamda chatted with Yasar Jarrar, a Young Global Leader working as a Partner at Bain & Company. After a panel in which several Young Global Leaders presented "New Ideas to Drive Positive Social Change," Jarrar discussed his impressions from our recent Mix n' Mentor event in Amman, as well as some of the ways in which government can better help entrepreneurs and become more effective in general. 

"They need some help, but not the help we thought they needed," he says about entrepreneurs in Jordan. Watch the video to see what he thinks they do need (0:50), and how governments in the Middle East could learn from Singpore (3:15).
