Wamda and General Electric announce partnership
Wamda and General Electric (GE), one of the world’s leading technology companies, are joining hands to enable and support the industrial entrepreneurship movement in the Middle East and North Africa. Through various activities, the partnership will accelerate and incubate the entrepreneurship ecosystem in the region in the spaces of advanced manufacturing, industrial internet, healthcare, clean technology, oil and gas, and transportation, among many others.
For the birth and growth of any entrepreneurial ecosystem, strong community support is an essential element, and this partnership will be supporting entrepreneurs working to innovate in these sectors.
With entrepreneurial activities in these industrial areas being previously disconnected and under-reported in the MENA region, Wamda and GE want to play a role in helping entrepreneurs grow by inspiring enthusiasm and motivation, empowering them through direct engagement, and guiding them in their growth.
“Wamda has been supporting entrepreneurship communities since its inception,” says Habib Haddad, Wamda’s CEO. “But we are particularly excited about this partnership because it is forward looking. GE sees the future and the growing industries before anyone else. With that in mind, GE and Wamda are set to build entrepreneurship communities that are also inventing the future and innovating in the industries of tomorrow.”
