Dr. Deepak Chopra said, "It is a pleasure to be associated with the World Summit on Innovation & Entrepreneurship, the first gathering of its kind. I believe a summit like this will encourage and innovate the public and private sectors to develop plans that will give the MENA region a global competitive edge.

We are honoured to be associated with such an event that will play a pivotal role to the progress of emerging nations."
