About Us
Addressing an opportunity to BRIDGE the gap between start-ups and institutions and ME institutions; BRIDGE-Me
Our team has been operating in the US, EU and Middle East North Africa for over 15 years. In that time, we had focused on commercializing start-ups in the US, Canada, and EU into the MENA region. In doing so, we found there is a strong appetite for start-ups to commercialize in MENA however, they did not have the knowledge, expertise, or network to do so. AND a matching appetite for local institutions to adopt these innovative solutions. That’s when Bridge-Middle East (Bridge-ME) was formed.
