The MENAGEN Insight Series extends the reach and impact of research emerging from MENAGEN’s Mentoring for Publication Program (MPP). The Series translates academic publications by MPP participants into concise and accessible communications that highlight key findings, contributions, and recommendations for audiences beyond academia. Sponsored by the Babson Global Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership (BGCEL), the Series provides practitioners, policymakers, organisational and industry leaders, and the wider community with research-informed insights and recommendations to support policy and practice aimed at advancing women’s entrepreneurship across the Arab world.
