Egypt | The startup revolution

With over 100 million people, Egypt makes up ¼ of the 400 million population in the Middle East. 60% of these people are under 30 years old. With a 70% internet penetration rate, highly skilled developers, and tons of local challenges that serve as opportunities, Egypt is one of the most robust startup ecosystems in the Middle East. High growth startups like SWVL solving commuter transportation, Instabug helping developers detect and fix bugs, and Wuzzuf helping people find jobs, means entrepreneurs are disrupting transportation, healthcare, AI, renewable energy and more. On this episode, we’re joined by Dina El Mofty, the founder of the Egyptian accelerator Injaz. Dina shares her 17 year journey building this ecosystem and highlights the best startups coming out of the country.
