Three female-led teams from Beirut and Cairo were awarded in September 2015 in Marseille at the Grand Finale of the “Women for Resilient Cities Start-up Competition” organized by the World Bank and the Center for Mediterranean Integration. The event brought together seven finalist teams along with business incubators, local stakeholders from across the MENA region in addition to World Bank partners: finalists pitched their business proposals in front of the selection committee who selected the best ventures supporting urban resilience and offered winning teams year-long business support services.
