The 14 other participants in the programme includes a Nigerian oil sector transparency advocate; a ground-breaking documentary film maker from the Netherlands; a diplomat serving as Egypt’s representative to the Syrian Opposition; and an innovative venture capitalist and tech entrepreneur from Korea.
