Catalysts for Growth
- In emerging startup ecosystems, accelerators and tech hubs face the challenge of supporting startups while being ´startups´ themselves, often struggling to find sustainable business models.
- BAM Egypt has been specially designed to empower accelerators to amplify their impact and support the region’s future entrepreneurs.
- Ideal participants are:
- Accelerators and incubators based in Egypt or those who work primarily with Egyptian startups.
- Be able to commit to 5 days of in-person learning in Cairo.
- Be proficient in written and spoken English.
- To maximize the effectiveness of this learning experience, they recommend bringing two team members from your organization. Ideally, the two team members joining BAM should include one person at the director/strategic level and the second from the operations/program manager level so that you can have the necessary support to implement your game plan from this program.
