Voices of impact
Techne Summit brings together people from different sectors discussing innovative solutions to problems we’re facing in Egypt, leading to economic growth and employment, and that’s what Egypt needs.
Techne Summit is an important and fascinating operation, bringing together 33,000 enthusiastic founders, investors and innovative companies. The event’s exponential growth and impact on the region make me excited to return.
We got to experience the virtual events, but honestly, when we went to Techne Summit’s hybrid edition and there was an offline part, we overachieved our targets and KPIs.
