Launch of the Certified Mentors Network Program to Strengthen Egypt’s Entrepreneurship Ecosystem

Many entrepreneurs in Egypt struggle to find qualified mentors, a challenge that directly affects the growth of their startups and their ability to overcome obstacles. To address this issue and provide more effective and professional support to the entrepreneurial community, the Egypt Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the National Institute for Governance and Sustainable Development has partnered with the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Center at the AUC School of Business to launch the Certified Mentors Network program.

The program aligns with the goals of the Ministerial Committee for Entrepreneurship to strengthen the business environment and enhance the support available to founders and startup teams. It focuses on training, empowering, and certifying professional mentors across the country, ensuring that entrepreneurs receive reliable and high-quality guidance that helps them grow and remain competitive in a rapidly changing market.

The Certified Mentors Network program offers a comprehensive framework for developing skills, building experience, and certifying mentors according to international standards. Its goal is to create a strong network of experts capable of supporting entrepreneurs and helping them transform their ideas into successful and sustainable ventures. The opening date for applications will be announced soon as part of a broader set of initiatives to strengthen Egypt’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
