World Entrepreneurship Day – EGYPT
What happened on WED 2010 in Egypt you ask? Well, LOTS of stuff, in both Cairo and Alexandria.
SIFE Ain Sham University celebrated in Cairo for the second year in a row, organizing an event that featured six keynote speakers made up of university professors and representatives of international corporations such as IBM and Itida. The Chief of the Supreme Council of Universities from the Ministry of Higher Education was also there, presenting seminars to ambitious students on topics such as:
- Entrepreneurship and its importance to the future generations,
- Innovation as an inseparable term from entrepreneurship,
- Service science management, its importance, its needs, and methods of presenting services; and
- How we can all collaborate towards having a smarter planet.
A representative from IBM Egypt and also from Itida Egypt spoke about how their corporations started and the direct link between entrepreneurship and service science management.
What came out of this? Well, agreements have now been formed with local associations and social funds institutions to give ambitious and promising young entrepreneurs loans for their start ups in order to engage them in real life business. Amazing! Thank you to the SIFE ASU team!

And then, as if that wasn’t already a spectacular WED in Egypt, closer to the Mediterranean the SIFE team at Alexandria University pulled together an amazing day on 29 April. But don’t take my word for it, thanks to them you can check it out yourself at their live upstream! We also love the awesome poster they put together:
