New Work Lab’s main event is the Pitch Lab, a monthly event at which four entrepreneurs pitch their startups to other members of the community. As one of the people who nominated Biaz put it, “the Pitch Lab helps entrepreneurs hone their pitches to [be ready for] competitions like Maroc Startup Cup ou Seedstars Morocco.” Other readers nominated her for her human touch. “She gives more to the startups than she gets for herself,” says one. “She is putting a lot of love in New Work Lab." We also have to say a few words about the person that came in second place: Adnane Addioui. Addioui is a very active member of the entrepreneurship community, and has done a lot to promote social entrepreneurship in Morocco and abroad. On top of his activities as social entrepreneurship trainer and speaker in Morocco and abroad, he’s the co-founder and president of the Moroccan Center for Innovation and Social Entrepreneurship (MCISE) and became, this year, the country manager of Enactus, an NGO enabling students to create social entrepreneurship projects that after a few years can be left in the hands of the recipients, for a more sustainable form of aid. Addioui successfully increased the number of participating students in the latter program.
