It has a series of resources, expertise, systems, and relationships in various sectors geared to support startups, accelerate ideas, and minimize risks, helping them overcome challenges and increase their chances of success.
In its first edition, the program received 500 applications from Egyptian startups working in 12 different fields, and after the screening process, 50 startups were selected and their founders engaged in a 3-day training program that included several entrepreneurship workshops and mentoring sessions with experts and specialists in many fields such as management, marketing, investment, presentation and negotiation skills, among others.
Five companies won a 4-day visit to Saudi Arabia, where they will have the opportunity to meet with a number of Saudi investors and discuss investment opportunities to enable these five companies to launch in the Saudi market and achieve growth and access to investments that will help them expand in the Arab region and the Middle East.
