"This graduation marks the culmination of a transformative journey during which the program provided comprehensive support to empower creative youth, design innovative business models, and unlock new opportunities for funding and growth. What we are celebrating today is not just the success of one cohort, but a milestone in an eight-year journey that has produced 14 batches and nearly 157 startups across more than 35 sectors."
Mahmoud further highlighted the program’s strong focus on financial technology (FinTech), noting that it has incubated 32 startups in the sector. To date, 42 alumni startups have successfully raised over $18 million in funding and created more than 13,000 direct and indirect job opportunities. In addition, around 25 startups have expanded regionally into Gulf and Middle Eastern markets.
"Over the past three years, the incubator has empowered dozens of startups, and today we celebrate the addition of 17 new companies. This achievement reflects the maturity of the Egyptian entrepreneurial ecosystem and its ability to compete both regionally and globally," Mahmoud added.
With this milestone, EGBANK reaffirms its commitment to fostering innovation and entrepreneurship, providing a sustainable platform for ambitious youth to drive digital economic growth and cement Egypt’s position as a promising regional hub for startups.
