Applications for Egypt’s Entrepreneur Awards 2024 Are Now Open
Here’s the full breakdown of the 15 categories and over 50 jurors involved in this year’s awards…
While the entrepreneurship ecosystem drowns in tech-fueled jargon and obsesses over fundraising, Egypt’s Entrepreneur Awards (EEA) celebrates the trailblazers building businesses across a myriad of industries.
From F&B entrepreneurs who have created delicious local concepts to fashion designers building homegrown brands that are making a mark on the global style scene; from creative-economy entrepreneurs disrupting the content space to inspiring individuals who are fueling vibrant business born of Egypt’s arts and cultural landscape; and from sports and wellness empires to startups that are creating impactful innovations that are disrupting traditional industries, EEA rewards hard work, commitment, dedication, creativity and consistent growth.
The jury for each category features some of the biggest names in that particular industry. Pioneers, thought-leaders and empire-builders will act as both judges and mentors throughout the rigorous process. The awards are also overseen by an independent and diverse advisory board of global industry leaders.
With the awards set to take place in September 2024, applications are now open. Entrepreneurs can apply to any one of the 15 categories by going to eeawards.org before July 4th.
