Dubai, UAE: Taka Solutions has announced that it has been selected one of 27 startups from across the world, to be a finalist of Chivas Regal’s The Venture, a global search to find and support the most promising social entrepreneurs, who aim to succeed in business, whilst having a positive impact on the lives of others.

The company’s selection was the result of a successful pitch made by Charles Blaschke, Managing Director, and Chris Burkhardt, Commercial Director, the announcement highlighted.

Taka Solutions, said the announcement, will represent the Gulf region in the upcoming final of The Venture in New York City in July, to compete for a share of The Venture’s USD 1 million fund.
