Competition aims to enhance digital agriculture ecosystem in Egypt by empowering existing, potential entrepreneurs, particularly youth, women

The German development agency, GIZ, held the closing ceremony of the Agri-Digital Startup Competition, in cooperation with Ain Shams University’s Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Creativity Hub (IHub) as the strategic implementing partner.

The ceremony was organized through the Agriculture Innovation Project (AIP) and in collaboration with the Arab Women’s Enterprise Fund (AWEF), a women’s economic empowerment development programme,

The competition started last June with an objective to enhance and support the digital agriculture ecosystem in Egypt by empowering existing and potential entrepreneurs, particularly youth and women. 36 teams in the start-up stage and 41 teams in the idea stage from the agricultural innovation industry participated in the competition.

The competition concluded with the successful introduction of the winning 3 startups to the market, paving their way to make a significant impact in the agricultural industry. Winning teams received a financial award of EGP 150,000 each. 

To benefit the winning start-ups further and ensure their sustainability, the AIP project agreed with the e-finance affiliate, AgriMisr platform, to host the start-ups on their platform, provide capacity building support and link them to the commercial market and investors. 

During the closing ceremony, Myriam Fernando, Project Manager of AIP at GIZ Egypt said, “The competition proves that innovation comes from the support of the private sector to young entrepreneurs who when given the opportunity, end up exceeding expectations.”

Besides the startup stage winners, 3 idea stage winners were awarded EGP 10,000 each to help take their ideas further to launch their own startups.
