Syria could be a hungry market for tech companies, especially startups. A lot of infrastructure and services still have room to be built from the ground up.

Hello, tech world, Syria has been removed from the U.S. sanctions list. The country needs you for its recovery process, which will be a long one; I hope you will play a meaningful role in it. Syria awaits you.

Syria has an exceptional pool of engineers and brilliant minds I know some truly inspiring stories of people who achieved great things despite the difficulties and restrictions was existed before the sanctions lifted. I think soon well see new success stories and the emergence of many brilliant minds.

We urge global software and technology companies to lift any restrictions on their use in Syria, now that all previous sanctions imposed as a result of the former regime have been lifted.
