Becoming a successful entrepreneur in any country is a tall task. For people building companies in the Western World, getting access to capital and resources is no small feat. For entrepreneurs in conflict zones like Syria, creating startups is a means of survival and boosting economic recovery for the country. And if the world would look beyond mainstream news headlines, entrepreneurship could be the means for peace.
The ongoing Syrian Civil War started in 2011, killing an estimated 400,000 Syrians, according to the UN Envoy for Syria. Despite the toughest odds, more than 150 startups launched in Syria in 2017, according to the World Economic Forum.
