From the launch event of the Egypt Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, affiliated with the National Institute for Governance and Sustainable Development, for the first session of the Center's Policy Forum, titled "“Access to Data and Data Availability for Egypt Entrepreneurship Ecosystem”: Challenges and Opportunities." This forum is part of the center’s efforts to address key issues and challenges that impact entrepreneurship in Egypt and influence the activities of various stakeholders within the ecosystem.

The forum aims to provide a platform for discussion and exchange of ideas on entrepreneurship-related issues and challenges, with the goal of developing recommendations to be presented to policymakers to enhance and improve Egypt's entrepreneurship environment.

The discussion brought together key stakeholders from the entrepreneurship ecosystem, including government representatives such as the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, the Innovators and Geniuses Support Fund, and the General Authority for Investment, alongside private sector representatives, venture capital investors, entrepreneurs, incubators, accelerators, and business hubs.

The first session of the forum explored major challenges and obstacles related to the production and accessibility of information in Egypt, which affect various stakeholders in the entrepreneurship ecosystem, particularly entrepreneurs, policymakers, and investors. The center will produce a report summarizing the key insights from the forum session, which will be shared with relevant stakeholders in the entrepreneurship ecosystem.
