Startup Scene ME | Techne Summit Alexandria 2024 LIVE from Bibliotheca Alexandrina In these times of endemic regional uncertainty, and following years of local economic challenges, the startup ecosystem continues to shine. The investment landscape may be weak, but that hasn’t stopped hundreds of Egyptian and regional entrepreneurs from driving forward with their ideas to solve myriad problems across a wide range of sectors. At a time when investment is harder than ever to come by, the power of mergers between startups cannot be understated, coming together to create a thriving partnership through ever-present innovation. Marketing those innovations is equally as important, and startups have much to learn from design thinking, which can reshape issues into opportunities. 📸 Startup Scene ME ILLA | Mohamed Emera | Magdy Shehata | Söderhub
