The event, starting from 3 to 8pm, will be held as part of Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW), a worldwide celebration featuring thousands of entrepreneurship-focused activities in over 140 countries, organisers said.
This year, over 15 organisations are participating in GEW-Qatar that will feature workshops, discussions, lectures and interactive sessions taking place from November 17 to 23. Silatech is the Qatar country host for GEW this year.
