“The World Economic Forum is happy to have Markaaz in our Global Innovators Community,” says Derek O’Halloran, Head of the Future of Digital Economy and Value Creation Platform, Member of the Executive Committee, World Economic Forum. “Including new, innovative voices is essential in the work we do at the Forum, we look forward to what Markaaz’s insights and expertise will add to our projects, dialogues, and platforms.”
The World Economic Forum has created the invitation-only Global Innovators Community to ensure that the voices of leading companies have a seat at the table and bring future-focused perspectives to all aspects of the Forum work.
“By transforming spare capacity into net new equity, we are creating entirely new value chains across sectors,” said Hany Fam, founder and CEO of Markaaz. “Being part of the World Economic Forum’s Global Innovators Community signifies to the Markaaz family and partners, our dedication to helping small businesses thrive at global scale as well as our commitment to bringing a truly transformational platform to businesses across the world.”
“We look forward to contributing and bringing value to the Global Innovators Community. Small businesses need accessible and affordable resources that provide confidence and security in their business engagements. That’s what is different about Markaaz. We’ve taken on the burdensome and historically cost-prohibitive process of supplier verification and created a safe environment for small businesses to find, monitor and pay pre-verified suppliers and partners. We’re delivering an unrivaled solution for compliance and risk management to small businesses, as we strongly believe that bringing a first ever platform of this kind as well as practical solutions at scale to small businesses will have a positive impact on businesses, the economy and society at large” says co-founder and COO, Fabi Hubschmid.
