The coming-of-age stories of emerging entrepreneurial ecosystems outside of the US and Europe, like China, India and Brazil, are well documented. However, whilst having the largest young digital population on the planet, the rise of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) has taken place largely unnoticed.

With a Foreword by Reid Hoffman, Coming of Age is the story of the region's entrepreneurial growth in the last 25 years that spans industries as diverse as fintech, healthtech and agritech all of which have emerged out of the desert since the new millennium to produce global-leading transformative ventures, and leapfrogging technologies.

Featuring interviews with 35 founders from the region, Coming of Age charts the MENA region's remarkable entrepreneurial journey to the point where it is set to challenge the global order and fully realize its potential to provide for the youngest population in the world.
