The Dtec Forum is one that gives a voice for professionals, those in tech, academics, entrepreneurs and the community
Discussions about technology and the entrepreneurial environment are usually the key points of the Dtec Forum, and this year’s panel not only included Mona Kattan, but Apparel Group’s Founder Sima Ved and Luxury Closet’s CEO, Kunal Kapoor.
Big ups to events like this that help inspire other aspiring entrepreneurs in the UAE.
