Mohamed Amine Belarbi

Mohamed went straight from RCN to NYU Abu Dhabi and hit the ground running. While still a student, he founded two NGOs and two businesses, channeling the entrepreneurial energy that RCN had sharpened. He launched Gulf Elite, an English-language publication focused on entrepreneurship in the Gulf region that reached 40,000 monthly readers, alongside Business Arabi, an Arabic-language counterpart with 30,000 readers. His trajectory is a direct reflection of what happens when someone with genuine drive gets access to a global network early — RCN gave him the connections, the confidence, and the international frame of reference to build something real while most people his age were still figuring out what to study.
