About

Founded in 2008 Elan is a news site dedicated to positive news about arts, business and culture in the Middle East and South Asia. 

A site updated daily, Elan’s articles share the stories of the remarkable young professionals empowering their communities, enlightening their peers and inspiring those around them.  Edited and curated to celebrate the MENASA region and its communities abroad, Elan provides an unprecedented platform.

Elan has always covered world culture in a way that has not been done before with covering the community in regards to innovation in the business and tech fields, women’s empowerment, sustainability, artistry, and thought-leadership; the publication has succeeded in staying away from divisive political issues that tend to drown out otherwise fascinating stories.
