The Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, CIE, affiliated with the General Union of the Arab Chambers of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture organized yesterday a graduation event for participants who completed special entrepreneurship training workshops in cooperation with the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). The Honorary President of the above Union, Adnan Kassar, stated that he was proud of the graduates who chose to partake in the courses to develop their skills and expand their work and hence contribute to the advancement of their community and to the growth of national economy. Kassar noted that that amidst the precarious conditions in the Arab world: “We at the Union of Chambers are prepared and keen on supporting entrepreneurs; this is demonstrated in our partnership with UNIDO and our sponsoring of CIE”. He added that Arab Chambers intend to consolidate the foundations of investment in entrepreneurship and innovation, knowing that the Arab world is in desperate need to support innovative talents and create jobs as such and spread awareness on the benefits of private endeavors and the need to promote small and medium enterprises.
