Third cohort of Egypt’s Startup Accelerator Program graduates from USAID and ITIDA

23 Egyptian startups have completed the third cohort of the Startups Accelerator Program in Egypt, as announced by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

The three-month program, run by Plug and Play Tech Centre in partnership with the Information Technology Industry Development Agency (ITIDA), the National Bank of Egypt (NBE), and Egypt Post, aims to support Egypt’s entrepreneurship ecosystem by giving selected startups access to resources, mentorship, and networking opportunities to help them grow locally and internationally.

23 startups participated in the most recent program, which ran from June until earlier this month and gave them access to resources, mentorship, and networking opportunities to help them succeed in a constantly changing business environment. Legal issues, product strategy, the venture capital environment in Africa, and human resources were among the subjects covered in the curriculum as they were pertinent to managing start-up businesses in a difficult environment.
