As a first step, Deutsche Bank will be offering two awards to Lebanese candidates at Euro 10 thousand each. The Foundation is also considering rolling out the Deutsche Bank Awards across the Middle East in the future.
Henry Azzam, Chairman of the Deutsche Bank Middle East Foundation and the Bank's regional CEO, said "The idea behind the Deutsche Bank Awards is to foster creative enterprises, by not only lending financial support but by also offering business planning guidance and mentoring. We are pleased to have partnered with Bader, an organization with a strong record of support for young entrepreneurs, to launch this initiative."
Robert Fadel, Bader Young Entrepreneur Program President said "In view of the vibrant creative industry in Lebanon, Bader is pleased to have partnered with Deutsche Bank to showcase local talents. Creativity is a great asset of Lebanon and a wonderful way to promote the "Lebanese savoir-faire". The Creative Industry can also play an important role in the development of the Lebanese entrepreneurial ecosystem as it can lead to the creation of Small and Medium Size (SME) companies"
All applications will be reviewed and short-listed applicants will be invited to give a presentation on their business project to a judging panel. The financial awards will be given in two tranches over a year's period, which includes a six-month review of the winning projects.
