Ihab Tabbara, Co-President of the London Business School Entrepreneurship Club, takes us through his journey with the London Business School and how he started the London Business School (LBS) MENA Startup Competition. Ihab shared his view about the startup ecosystem in the Middle East and the challenges that startups face in the region. He also shared tips for startups on staying agile and viable in the market and in the eyes of investors.

He appreciated the quality of startups that appeared in the 2023 edition of the LBS MENA Startup Competition. Ihab expects the next edition of the LBS MENA Startup Competition may happen in Saudi Arabia as the Kingdom is betting big on startups.
