中东和北非技术更新——2024年第三季度

“While the rest of the world is still enduring through thetech winter, the MENA region is showing great signs ofresilience to this global trend.The dizzying funding heights of 2021 are unlikely to return in the nearfuture, however this does not mean that the global startup economy isstuck in continual decline. Conditions have stabilized globally and arestarting to show signs of improvement, with Series A and exits beginning togo up. History suggests that VCs that recognize the first-mover advantage ofa more bullish approach may reap higher returns compared to those whoremain conservative, and this positive approach has allowed the UAE toachieve a record breaking quarter and a very strong first half of 2024.
