The head of the team organising the four-day regional conference for the Arab web industry, ArabNet, has said that he believes 2011 “Will be the year of the Arab entrepreneur.” Omar Christidis pinpoints a new wave of optimism and a desire among young people to take control of their future as key factors in the rise in entrepreneurialism across the region. Christidis and the ArabNet team recently took to a bus to travel around the Arab World and run workshops for over 1,500 potential start-up entrepreneurs around the region.
