Middle East Entrepreneur Training (MEET)
The Middle East Entrepreneur Training (MEET) program is an innovative training program designed to identify, develop and sustain a new core of leaders in business and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) throughout the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
The MEET program provides skills training, professional networking, and alumni support systems to increase the managerial and entrepreneurial leadership skills for business entrepreneurs and executives, NGO executives, and social entrepreneurs. The program’s goal is to help promising executives, managers and entrepreneurs realize their aspirations to build successful, growing, sustainable organizations that will contribute to economic growth, democratic and social change, as well as community well-being in the MENA region. The participation of women in the program is highly encouraged.
MEET is a program of the Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI) of the U.S. Department of State which is a Presidential initiative to support economic, political, and educational reform efforts in the MENA region and to champion opportunity for all people of the region, especially women and youth. The initiative strives to link Middle Eastern, North African, U.S., and global private sector businesses, non-governmental organizations, civil society elements, and governments together to develop innovative policies and programs to achieve the mission.
MEET will be managed and implemented by the Beyster Institute at the Rady School of Management, University of California San Diego.
