Abstract :
According to christopher M Schroeder, in Britain we only know of the Middle East what the television tells us. And what the TV beams into our homes is a litany of political unrest, mass demonstrations and military coups. "We\´re not really ready to think of the region as a hotbed of technology startups," says the author of \´Startup rising\´, a book that sets about defining the conditions under which we are experiencing - as its subtitle informs us - "the entrepreneurial revolution remaking the Middle East".
