Dr. Majed Ghoneima continues his efforts to connect entrepreneurs with the necessary resources and expertise for growth and expansion by establishing the Startup Egypt foundation. This foundation aims to create an interactive community for startup founders, providing them with opportunities to network and exchange experiences and knowledge essential for developing their projects.
During his participation in the "Start" Summit, Ghoneima will present his vision on entrepreneurship and innovation, along with mechanisms for building projects capable of growth, sustainability, and attracting investors.
