You don’t often think of Lebanon as a hotbed for EdTech start-ups. But top-flight universities like the American University of Beirut are producing young entrepreneurs with world class ideas.

I met Anis Assi at the 2017 World Finals of the Imagine Cup, a competition that gathers some of the best young minds on the planet. Anis’s project, BL!NK, uses technology to help students and professionals evaluate their own presentations. In an entrepreneurial world, the key to success is often in the presentation.

In the near future, when it comes to success, if you don’t BL!NK, you may miss it.
