Hello Judge: 10 years and a full cycle

This year’s Youth Entrepreneurship Celebration witnessed one of INJAZ’s most remarkable success stories. Almost 10 years ago, Ray Dargham and Bassem El Hady participated in the INJAZ regional competition as students where they first discovered their entrepreneurial streaks.

Expanding the INJAZ Mission to Libya

Body

In November 2019, INJAZ has expanded its geographical mandate and signed an MoU to establish an INJAZ chapter in Libya. This comes as a result of a collaboration between INJAZ Al-Arab and Expertise France, with the support of a number of interested local Libyan businessmen and public sector figures who are passionate about INJAZ and empowering the Libyan youth. The aim of this partnership is to reach and impact youth in Libya during the academic year 2019-2020, by equipping them with the required skills of the 21st century to be ready for the marketplace of tomorrow, through the implementation of INJAZ programs.
