The 94th Cairo Climate Talks highlighted sustainable entrepreneurship and innovation as a critical yet challenging field in Egypt. Key barriers, such as inadequate funding, limited market demand, and regulatory constraints, continue to hinder progress. Building on the global momentum from COP28 in Dubai, this event emphasized the importance of fostering partnerships among startups, research institutions, and policymakers to create frameworks that advance sustainability-focused innovations.
In collaboration with TU Berlin, Cairo Climate Talks brought together leading experts from Germany, Egypt, and the MENA region to examine the pivotal role of green entrepreneurship in addressing global environmental challenges. The panel featured representatives from Enpact Egypt, Plug’n’Grow, and Birzeit University, who discussed strategies for developing supportive ecosystems for green startups, selecting effective mentorship programs, integrating sustainability into educational curricula, identifying appropriate markets, and navigating international collaborations.
A concluding networking session facilitated international knowledge exchange, bringing together representatives from over 20 countries as part of the TU Berlin delegation to Egypt.
