Meet the Finalists of Egypt’s Entrepreneur Awards 2021

It’s official. After a week of impassioned debate and deliberation, the juries of Egypt’s Entrepreneur Awards have completed the near-impossible task of whittling hundreds of applications and nominations down to a select few, to make-up a unique selection of the very best entrepreneurial minds from a whole host of industries and sectors.

Announced at the #PeopleOfNow sohour in Cairo, the finalists were brought together with the very juries that hold the fate of the 18 awards in their hands, as well as the EEA advisory board and select VIPs from the world of business and innovation.

With the ceremony set to take place on June 12th at one of Egypt’s most iconic locations, the countdown officially begins now - and Startup Scene ME will be there every step of the way as official media sponsors. And the nominees are...
