PRIZE MONEY 

The 100 finalists will have the opportunity to present their projects at the MENA 100 Day in Manama; there will be one winner per country to compete for the three regional prizes.

In-kind professional services are donated by sponsors of the competition as well as OECD and MENA business angels and venture capital funds.

The MENA 100 Marketplace is designed to help addressing the needs of the selected teams who are not part of the final selection to assist them in launching their businesses. Invited entrepreneurs will be matched with participating financial institutions and will be given the chance to individually discuss their business ideas with experts from the region and beyond. The marketplace will also offer invited entrepreneurs face-to-face networking opportunities to help them form networks with their counterparts and generate new ideas, new market opportunities and new resources.
