TechWadi is a Silicon Valley-based non-profit organization building bridges between the United States and the MENA region to promote  entrepreneurship, support innovation, and foster economic development. From its early beginnings as a gathering of Arab American technology professionals in Silicon Valley, TechWadi has evolved into a powerful global platform for cooperation and collaboration – with members and events spanning across the US and MENA.

With deep roots in California’s technology community, TechWadi is playing a unique role: in Silicon Valley, we bring together the technology community through conferences, networking events, workshops, and mentorship programs. In the MENA region, we work with leading regional and international organizations to empower high impact entrepreneurs and help build a sustainable infrastructure for entrepreneurship to thrive and succeed.

Mentorship
At the front-line of our initiatives are the TechWadi 100 – a network of experienced mentors; highly distinguished entrepreneurs, investors, and executives dedicated to helping promising entrepreneurs in the MENA region. TechWadi 100 members, mainly based in Silicon Valley, represent the most successful leaders within their communities and pledge to engage heart and mind towards helping build a sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem in MENA. Mentors and coaches can engage with startups along multiple tracks, see the TechWadi 100 page for details.
