After CairoScene’s explosive success in startup stories, entrepreneur interviews and active participation in the regional eco-system for nearly four years, Startup Scene ME emerges as a dedicated platform for the Middle East’s nascent and innovative startup space.
Launching as a dynamic stand-alone site, www.StartupSceneME.com is a virtual space where entrepreneurs, investors, tech geeks, and innovators can connect, stay informed and spark conversations.
“This is not just about business. We’re telling the other story of the Middle East; the story of young, valiant, relentless entrepreneurs taking it upon themselves to drive innovation and socio-economic change. This is the most exciting moment to showcase the entrepreneurial passion thriving in the MENA region,” says Valentina Primo, Editor-in-Chief of Startup Scene ME.
With the media power of MO4Network and the experiences of sister sites CairoScene and CairoZoom, Startup Scene ME enters the digital media space with the know-how and experience to engage an ever-growing audience. Having already reached millions through articles and video features on CairoScene, as well as Startup Scene ME’s own social media accounts, the new site offers a more focused look at the booming, regional startup sector.
“With an in-house production studio and legion of creative content creators, Startup Scene ME produces high quality media across several platforms underpinned by MO4Network’s five years of digital production experience,” says Amy Mowafi, Co-Founder of MO4Network.
As well as informing and educating entrepreneurs and small business owners, Startup Scene ME sets off to be a one-stop hub where investors can discover and connect with the Middle East’s nascent, most innovative entrepreneurs just as they launch their businesses. Rather than echoing stories circling across high-level meetings, the platform will scour the MENA region for the most promising, inspiring, and unique entrepreneurs.
Beyond the digital platform, Startup Scene ME will connect investors and entrepreneurs in a series of networking events. Far from your stuffy conference or boardroom meeting, MO4 Network’s events and PR prowess executes memorable and effective events for some of the world’s biggest and brightest brands. A ‘Speed Networking’ event will mark the official launch of Startup Scene, while monthly meet-ups will put the platform at the heart of the entrepreneurship eco-system.
