After years of war, isolation and sanctions, the Assad era is over.

經歷多年的戰爭、孤立和制裁，阿薩德時代已經結束。

Syria is trying to re engage with the world.

Sanctions are easing and the new government is promising change.

Among the biggest ambitions, a digital future.

其中最大的抱負之一，就是一個數位化的未來。

We want the world, especially the next generation, to see us as a driver of growth, connection and innovation.

我們希望世界，特別是下一代，能將我們視為成長、連結和創新的驅動者。

Now, a year after the fall of Assad, digital still comes with daily obstacles, power cuts, poor connectivity and a cash based economy.

現在，在阿薩德垮臺一年後，數位化仍面臨日常的障礙，像是停電、網路不穩以及現金為主的經濟。

Xyria has been operating the past 14 years in a bubble.

So we were completely disconnected from everything outside and people are extremely creative and there's a unique problem solving approach here.

所以我們完全與外界斷了聯繫，而這裡的人們非常有創意，有著獨特的解決問題方式。

Fahila Hijazi is one of the people who returned to Syria from Germany to establish her staff startup, Beti Betak.

It's building what looks like a Syrian Airbnb, offering short stays in homes, apartments, villas and hotels.

這家公司正在建立一個看起來像敘利亞版的 Airbnb，提供在住宅、公寓、別墅和飯店的短期住宿。

But for a project like this, how can payments be handled?

不過像這樣的計畫，付款要怎麼處理呢？

What we did in Beiti Betak is that we had an external entity outside.

我們在 Beti Betak 的做法是，我們找了外部的實體。

我們在敘利亞以外的地方收取款項。

So we have like a combination of cache online and we developed our own APIs as well for plannerlyes, an AI tool designed to help entrepreneurs plan projects for the Syrian market.

所以我們結合了線上現金和我們自己開發的 API，用來協助創業家規劃敘利亞市場專案的 AI 工具。

I don't use ADSL which is locally at home.

Actually I don't think that all entrepreneurs have this access to the Internet.

其實我不認為所有創業家都有這樣的網路連線管道。

Unofficial estimates suggest Syria is still largely offline with almost 2/3 of the population not connected.

非官方估計顯示，敘利亞仍有大部分地區處於離線狀態，近三分之二的人口沒有連線。

And even for those who are, the Internet can be painfully slow.

而且就算有連線，網路速度也可能慢到不行。

According to the Minister of Communications and Information technology, Syria ranks 227th out of 229 countries in broadband connectivity.

根據通訊暨資訊科技部長的說法，敘利亞的寬頻連線能力在 229 個國家中排名第 227 名。

我不太記得確切的數字了，但是

like 40% of the reports of the studies that were provided weren't able to finish analyzing because of the Internet.

大約有 40% 的研究報告因為網路問題，無法完成分析。

It wasn't fast enough to analyze the data and load.

網路不夠快，沒辦法分析資料和載入。

And plus when the electricity cuts off, so the Internet cuts off.

而且電力一停，網路也就斷了。

In a recent statement, the minister announced the first phase of Ugarit 2, a project linked to an undersea cable route via Cyprus that will increase Syria's international Internet capacity.

部長在最近的聲明中宣佈了 Ugarit 2 計畫的第一階段，這項計畫透過賽普勒斯連接一條海底電纜路線，將能提升敘利亞的國際網路容量。

While the government talks, infrastructure startups make do with whatever works.

政府在喊話的同時，基礎設施的創業家們只能盡量利用現有的資源。

Syria's tech ecosystem didn't grow like other countries.

敘利亞的科技生態系統不像其他國家一樣成長。

B Order is one of the few startups that managed to scale under Assad's regime, delivering groceries and meals in Damascus and beyond.

B Order 是少數在阿薩德政權下成功擴張的創投公司之一，在阿勒坡及其他地區提供雜貨和餐點外送服務。

The co founder told us that the Assad government was always harassing the business trying to get a share.

共同創辦人告訴我們，阿薩德政府一直騷擾公司，試圖分一杯羹。

We were able to somehow to Cover our, let's call it numbers and operations just to protect ourselves from them.

我們設法勉強維持了我們的營運，姑且稱之為我們的營運數字，以保護我們自己不受他們的影響。

So they used to come and say, okay, we are following the number of the bags, and

他們以前會來，說「好的，我們正在計算包裹的數量」，然後

We know it from, like, we used to number the bags by series 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

我們知道，因為我們以前會用 1、2、3、4、5 的序號來計算包裹。

So we need to change this to a different coding so they don't get how much orders we have.

所以我們需要改用另一種編碼方式，這樣他們就無法得知我們有多少訂單。

With sanctions easing, foreign investment can return and startups can finally scale beyond survival mode.

隨著制裁放寬，外國投資可以迴流，新創公司終於可以擺脫僅求生存的模式而擴張。

Countries like Saudi Arabia and Qatar are already pledging millions of dollars in investments for Syria.

沙烏地阿拉伯和卡達等國家已經承諾為敘利亞提供數百萬美元的投資。

So in my point of view, investors coming and people coming to Syria will nourish plan allies, and

所以在我看來，投資者和人們來到敘利亞，將會滋養計畫的盟友，

it will help more people use plan allies.

這將幫助更多人使用計畫的盟友。

Even them coming will help people understand.

就連他們的到來，也會幫助人們理解。

Oh, okay, so this is how they think outside.

喔，好的，所以這就是他們對外思考的方式。

But foreign investment doesn't automatically mean scale.

但外國投資並不代表自動就會規模化。

What happens if Syria opens to companies like Uber, Airbnb, or regional delivery giants?

如果敘利亞開放給 Uber、Airbnb 或區域性的外送巨頭等公司，會發生什麼事？

Well, it's challenging for us having an open market.

嗯，對我們來說，擁有一個開放的市場是很有挑戰性的。

We never operated in this for the past 70 years, but

過去七十年來我們從未這樣運作過，但是

對我們來說，我看到在地的一些狀況。

So I think if you want to have a market, let's call it us and the international investor competition need to cooperate together.

所以我認為，如果你想要有一個市場，我們稱之為我們和國際投資者的競爭需要一起合作。

So Syria's tech industry is entering a new phase.

所以敘利亞的科技產業正進入一個新階段。

It's less about whether startups can exist and more about whether they can grow.

這比較不是關於新創公司能否存在，而是關於他們能否成長。

Foreign money could speed up rebuilding and bring more Syrians online.

外國資金可以加速重建，並讓更多敘利亞人連上網路。

For now, the country's startups will build with what they have, but

目前，這個國家的創投公司將利用現有的資源來發展，但是

this time, they're betting that the system will finally catch up.

這一次，他們賭的是這個系統最終會跟上。
