More than 30 developers, startup founders, and investors, gathered at the Levent Offices to participate in the Second Round of the ARABTECH Startups Meetings, to share ideas, advice, and opportunities.
The event was a chance for them to meet, and discuss ways to collaborate and help each other, in a very friendly and welcoming environment.

The list of attendants included Syrian, Saudi, Emirati, Egyptian, and Turkish representatives, with technology companies from all kinds of backgrounds and industries; from construction (Q-Surv), to customer experience (Upfeedback), to data management (Workiom).
Going there was, for me as a young developer, an uplifting experience. People were supportive, full of energy and optimism, and most importantly, full of hope.

"People sometimes tell me why do you do this? Arabic startups are not good, they will never do anything great" Said Mr. Mustafa, "But I tell them: you're wrong!"
Mr. Mustafa believes in a bright future ahead for Arabic tech startups, and hopes that ARABTECH Meetings will be an important step towards making that vision into reality.
