What a great experience we had today with entrepreneur and venture investor Christopher M. Schroeder. We learned about his new book “Startup Rising, The Entrepreneurial Revolution, Remaking the Middle East“ and his views on some of the exciting things happening in the Middle East.

Chris talked about the changes happening because of mobile technology, social media and solar. You can hear the entire interview on the video below.
