The Middle East Entrepreneurs Network (MEEN) has over the past few years consolidated itself as a serious group of entrepreneurs and business people who are looking to create an environment conducive to do business in the Middle East. MEEN helps fellow entrepreneurs in their businesses by generating business for them within the network.

The focus and vision of MEEN, amongst other things will be to help individuals create business ideas and to connect them with people looking at investing in ideas and businesses or to find partners who can help develop the idea into reality. MEEN has also created sub groups for focused segments like IT, Women Entrepreneurs, Trading etc. The network is designed to become a reliable body, which will authenticate and verify the quality and value for business ventures and services. The forum will hold regular networking mixers and make available a complete knowledge repository of case studies, best practices within Middle East and relevant data to its members.
