The MIT Enterprise Forum Pan Arab is back with the 5th edition of the Silicon Valley Program, where MENA-based startups head to Silicon Valley for a week to get introduced to the valley tech ecosystems.
For those unfamiliar, the Silicon Valley Program is an immersive program for MENA-based startups, where they will exhibit their startups to a global audience of investors, entrepreneurs, and accelerators during Techcrunch Disrupt SF, and will be doing site visits to the world’s largest tech companies like Google, Facebook, and Salesforce.
