5 Highlights of the 2010 Edition Significant regional participation: More than 130 entrepreneurial teams from 14 MENA economies submitted business plans to the 2010 MENA 100 competition, with Egypt, Lebanon and Syria accounting for half of all applications. Business plans were also submitted by teams from: Algeria, Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestinian Authority, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates and Yemen. Strong involvement of women entrepreneurs & mentors Following targeted communication with OECD-MENA Women s Business Forum members and the 10,000 Women Entrepreneurship and Leadership Center in the American University of Cairo (AUC), this year s competition boasted 31 percent female candidates in Round 2, four female participants in the interactive coaching session preceding the final round, and 18 female jurors and mentors out of 40. Focus on innovation: The two editions of the competition have underscored the innovative nature of today s aspiring MENA entrepreneur. The majority of business plans submitted to both the 2009 and 2010 competitions centred around projects with high technological or R&D components in areas such as energy, air transportation security, healthcare and education. The remaining projects focused on the services sector (food industry, travel, business services and tourism), media and telecommunications, manufacturing and agribusiness. Substantial business engagement: Almost 40 leading international business experts from companies, consulting, business associations, universities, private institutions, international organisations, business angel networks, NGOs, and venture capital groups took part in the selection process. Many of these experts also volunteered their time to mentor the winners of Round 1 to help them further refine and develop their business plans. A MENA 100 Marketplace will also provide opportunities for entrepreneurs to network and to individually discuss their business ideas with experts from the region and beyond. To participate:
