INJAZ Egypt To Host 19th Youth Entrepreneurship Celebration

INJAZ Egypt will host the 19th Annual Youth Entrepreneurship Celebration (YEC) at the Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza between October 26 and 30, under the patronage of Prime Minister Dr. Mostafa Madbouly. Organized by INJAZ Al-Arab, the event gathers top student entrepreneurs from 13 countries across the region to present their ventures and compete for regional recognition. The YEC marks the culmination of INJAZ’s six-month Company Programme, which gives students hands-on experience in launching and running their own businesses. Each national winner now represents their country on the regional stage. This year, Egypt’s own finalists — Wasla from Cairo American College and Nubrick from the Arab Academy for Science and Technology — will compete after winning INJAZ Egypt’s local finals earlier this year. Supported by leading private sector partners including ExxonMobil, Orascom Development, QNB, FedEx, Mastercard, Alshaya/Starbucks, Investcorp, PMIEF, and Boeing, the five-day celebration will spotlight creativity, collaboration, and the determination of young entrepreneurs to turn their ideas into viable ventures. Participants will also have the opportunity to connect with mentors, peers, and potential investors from across the region. This year’s event carries special significance, marking a historic milestone for INJAZ Egypt — reaching one million students nationwide since its founding in 2003. Over the past two decades, the organization has empowered youth across schools and universities with the skills, mindset, and confidence to succeed in the world of work and entrepreneurship. To commemorate this achievement, INJAZ Egypt launched the ‘From One to a Million’ campaign, celebrating the journeys, impact, and stories of the students, educators, and partners who have shaped this remarkable legacy. As the region’s brightest young innovators gather in Cairo, the milestone underscores INJAZ Egypt’s enduring commitment to transforming potential into possibility — one student, one idea, and now, one million success stories at a time.
