Entrepreneurs form the glue that holds societies together and connects them across time and place. They play an important role in “connecting minds and creating the future”, which is in line with the theme of Expo 2020 Dubai. In these turbulent times, entrepreneurs come with solutions to many of the challenges and complexities created by the ongoing global pandemic. Entrepreneurship provides opportunities amid disruption!
