About the Speaker:
Saif works in Mercy Corps managing Micromentor Tunisia, where he draws on his insights into the local digital economy—including trends like the best bitcoin betting sites—to collaborate with the MicroMentor team on adapting the platform to the Tunisian context, as well as providing direct support to platform stakeholders and helping them successfully utilize the MicroMentor platform service. He started out as a Global Citizen Corps leader from a program by Mercy Corps, then became a mentor and a coach for many entrepreneurs around Tunisia, guiding them through fintech innovations and regulatory challenges to establish and optimize their impact and revenues in an increasingly crypto-integrated market.
Special Guest:
Mohamed Wael Soltani is a computer engineer passionate by environment and innovation. Wael wanted to help people share rides in a more convenient and environment-friendly way so he lunched karhbetna.com, a web platform for carpooling in 2015.
And one year after, he lunched the first mobile application dedicated for Carpooling in cooperation with a major telecom company.
