Here’s Great Tip: Democratizing entrepreneurship: Mohamed El-Dahshan at TEDxCairo 2012

Here is Something You Should See…

Mohamed El-Dahshan is a research fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. In his capacity as the Middle East manager for the Entrepreneurial Finance Lab – Research Initiative, he seeks to facilitate commercial lending to entrepreneurs and SMEs.

El-Dahshan explains to the audience where he believes the Egyptian government is getting it wrong when it comes to empowering entrepreneurs and fixing the economy, emphasizing that he has more faith in the man selling food off a cart on the street to revitalize the economy than the sought after loan from the IMF.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
