Silatech was founded in January 2008 by Her Highness Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser Al-Missned of Qatar, to address the critical and growing need to create new jobs and opportunities for young people across the Arab World.
"Silatech, which means "your connection" in Arabic—is about connecting young people in the Arab World to employment and enterprise opportunities."
Silatech and Middle East Youth Initiative have released a new report - "Social Entrepreneurship in the Middle East: Toward Sustainable Development for the Next Generation." The study, part of the Taqeem project, represents the first comprehensive analysis of its kind addressing the state of social entrepreneurship and social investment in the Middle East and its potential for the region's 110 million youth.
The second wave of “The Silatech Index: Voices of Young Arabs” released in January 2010 is a study produced in partnership with the Gallup Organization on young people’s opinions and perceptions about job creation efforts and business environments in their respective countries.
