participate
in
the
workshop,
where
all
entrepreneurs
will
have
the
chance
to
introduce
themselves
and
their
business
concept
to
all
participants.
At
this
month’s
workshop

by
granting
them
easy,
convenient
and

offers
a
comprehensive
package
of
business
solutions
that

is
there
to
help
all
commercial
and
industrial
companies
at
various
stages
of
their
development
by
providing
finance,

into
both
the
