Startup Weekend is coming to Baghdad, on August 21th, 22th and 23rd at the Oil Cultural Center in Baghdad.

SW Baghdad will follow the basic Startup Weekend model, anyone can pitch their idea, receive feedback, and vote on others' ideas. Teams form around the top startup ideas and delve into a 54-hour long frenzy involving coding, designing, business model creation, and market validation. The teams then present their refined ideas in front of local key figures of entrepreneurship.
