Dubai - The event addressed post-Covid challenges, with a focus on entrepreneurship, education and tourism.

Young Emiratis recently joined youths from Israel, Bahrain and Morocco in a first-of-its-kind virtual social hackaton on entrepreneurship.

The three-day hackathon was the first such event to be organised since the signing of the Abraham Accords. It addressed challenges that the region is expected face post Covid-19, with a particular focus on business and entrepreneurship, education and tourism.

Bringing together young entrepreneurs from across the region, the event hosted lectures and workshops that featured leading Emirati and Israeli businesspeople. The youth were encouraged to present initiatives and work plans that propose solutions to future challenges.
