The Arab Innovation Academy (AIA) program, organized by Qatar Science & Technology Park (QSTP) and the European Innovation Academy (EIA), is currently taking place in the Middle East for the first time. The 10-day program is a boot-camp for more than 100 students from universities in Qatar and the Arab world, using hands-on methods to teach them the process of creating a tech startup company, and providing them with insight and guidance from world-class international mentors and investors.
We invite you to a Triple Treat from QSTP on January 11, 2018, 1pm onwards at QSTP South Podium, to experience what the Arab Innovation Academy is all about.
