A new accelerator helps international and Egyptian businesses grow and create jobs

Egypt is a fast-growing market with a dynamic startup ecosystem and a strong demand for innovation, making it an attractive location for businesses. However, expanding into a new market or scaling a business can be challenging. That’s why the Egypt Growth & Market Access Accelerator supports startups and SMEs looking to grow in the country.

Designed to help companies seize market opportunities, connect with investors, and scale sustainably, the programme helps both Egyptian companies expanding locally and international businesses entering the Egyptian market. Through a mix of virtual and in-person sessions with expert mentorship, tailored workshops, and valuable investor connections, participating companies gain the knowledge and network they need to succeed.

By supporting businesses, the accelerator aims to foster economic growth and create good jobs in Egypt.
