“Dear Entrepreneur,
We first would like to thank you for your applying to the Entrepreneurship World Cup (EWC).

Feedback
The event is at King Abdullah Economic City, which is 1,050 km away from my place thus unless the event provides financial support, it won’t be easy to attend the event.
The process so far has been very easy and straightforward but during the application process, I found several areas where EWC platform needs improvement. Would love to share my insights if they would like to improve.
The following text was published on 13th May 2019:
STC invited its employees to register in the “Entrepreneurship World Cup” to explore the world of business in collaboration with Misk Global Forum.
Instead of pitching the technology-oriented ideas, this time I opted to share The Clear Evidence to explore the opportunities for growth.
I applied at Join the EWC now – entrepreneurshipworldcup.com.
