Mohsen Kasiri is an International student, completing his Masters of Data Science, who first started a business of his own in Iran. Mohsen continued his experience as an entrepreneur in Canada through the Hub Incubator Program at . �
"It was a hard decision for me as an international student to think about going into the entrepreneurship world again.
