While Damascus is facing one of its tougher times in its ten thousand year-history, a group of enthusiastic Syrian youths, interested in startups and entrepreneurship, are organizing a 54-hour event called Startup Weekend Damascus together with Wikilogia. Hopeful entrepreneurs will gather in the Al Mezzah neighborhood in western Damascus and get a chance to pitch and develop their ideas together with mentors and seasoned Syrian international businesspeople in a three-day workshop.
“This is going to be a great learning experience for the entrepreneurial community in Damascus and will encourage growth and innovation in these hard times…our mission this weekend is to create local startups, grow our community locally and build a supportive entrepreneurial environment,” Ahmad Sufian Bayram, one of the organizers of the event, told Your Middle East.
“The only chance to create new jobs in the 21st century will have to come from new ventures, so we all have an interest in fostering an environment that helps these young entrepreneurs succeed. Startup Weekend-events can be a beginning, but much more is needed.”

Hey tҺere! I just wish to offer you a big thumbѕ up for youг great іnformation you havе got here on this post.
I am coming back to your website fߋr more soon.
*I�m impressed, I must say. Really rarely do I encounter a blog that�s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is outstanding; the issue is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.
I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your website.
It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme?
Fantastic work!
Howdy terrific website! Does running a blog similar to this take a great deal
of work? I have virtually no understanding of computer
programming but I was hoping to start my own blog in the
near future. Anyway, if you have any ideas or techniques for
new blog owners please share. I know this is off topic but I
simply had to ask. Kudos!
