Aramex backs ArabNet event
Aramex has announced its partnership with ArabNet, the largest conference for the Arab web industry. The conference is to bring together more than 1,000 Arab web business leaders and start-ups, including a strong presence from regional entrepreneurs following the successful ArabNet workshops held in 7 countries.
The 4-day conference takes place in Beirut on March 22-25 under the Patronage of H.E. General Michel Sleiman, President of Lebanon, and in collaboration with the Central Bank of Lebanon.
ArabNet founder Omar Christidis said: “Building up to the Summit, the ArabNet team has just completed the ArabNet RoadShow, a road trip in the “ArabNet Bus” across 7 countries, fuelled by the mission of finding promising youth and encouraging them to launch their own businesses. We found an incredible groundswell of talent around the region and the strong participation of young Arabs in all the workshops reflects the tremendous talent in the Arab world.”
Fadi Ghandour, Aramex founder and CEO, said: “Aramex sees a lot of synergy with ArabNet and the RoadShow. Crafting a strategic partnership was a natural step for us and a reflection of our continued commitment to nurturing an entrepreneurial ecosystem in the Arab world and providing our skills, resources and extensive expertise at the service of youth across the region.”
