Dr. Rouhana, GM of IM Capital, was a panelist in a session focusing on co-equity funds where he presented the MENA-II program for Lebanon, and how businesses can benefit from it. He was also involved as a mentor in a speed-mentoring activity at the Berytech booth, where each mentee prepared a solid question, then got 9 minutes with a mentor relevant to his challenge.
