That's not a pr ediction — it's shipping in Cairo right now\, in commercials\, music vide os and shorts.\nThe craft question is settled enough: AI filmmaking works . The unsettled questions are the ones that decide whether anyone builds a career on it. Who gets credited when the model generated the shot? Who owns a film whose visuals came out of a system trained on other people's work? What does a director charge when the client knows the render cost n othing? Which roles on a crew survive this\, and which ones quietly disap peared last year? And what does a festival do with a submission nobody ca n prove authorship of?\nStudios are selling AI work they may not legally own. Creators are being quoted against output built partly from their own portfolios. Everyone is shipping anyway.\nWe've put people on stage with opposing interests rather than a shared opinion — someone selling GenAI film work to brands\, someone whose craft it's replacing\, and someone wh o has to write the line into a real contract.

A Practical Investment-Readiness Workshop for C leantech Entrepreneurs LOCATION:Auditorium - Workshops B\, Bibliotheca Alexandrina\, Alexandria DESCRIPTION:With Fred Walti\, Maged Ghoneima\, Mohamed Hamza.\n\nWhat Get s Funded? is a hands-on workshop organised by UNIDO and NGIN\,-in which E gyptian cleantech startups assess their own investment readiness\, see th eir companies through an investor's eyes and identify the specific work r equired before fundraising. An angel investor\, a venture-capital investo r and a successfully funded Egyptian cleantech founder provide the practi tioner input\; the startups do the work. Each participating company compl etes an Investment Readiness Checklist\, discusses priority gaps with pee rs and practitioners\, and leaves with three concrete next actions.\nThe workshop is designed as the practical continuation of Funding 101. Fundin g 101 maps Egypt's funding ladder: what kinds of capital are available\, which sources fit different stages and when an entrepreneur should approa ch them. What Gets Funded? starts with the next question: if a company ap proaches the right investor\, what evidence must it show\, what risks wil l the investor examine and what readiness gaps must the founder close? Th e session therefore does not repeat the financing-landscape discussion or operate as a second investor panel.\nThis distinction matters in Egypt. A cleantech venture may need independent technology validation\, access t o test facilities\, a demonstration project and proof that a pilot can co nvert into a paying customer. It may also face certification or permittin g requirements\, imported equipment and foreign-exchange exposure\, longe r procurement and payment cycles\, significant capital expenditure\, manu facturing or supply-chain questions and a financing need that does not fi t conventional startup instruments. These are not only pitch-deck problem s\; they are evidence\, execution and risk-reduction problems.\n\nhttps:/ /techne-summit-concept.pages.dev/agenda/what-gets-funded-a-practical-inve stment-readiness-workshop-for-cleante URL:https://techne-summit-concept.pages.dev/agenda/what-gets-funded-a-pra ctical-investment-readiness-workshop-for-cleante CATEGORIES:Cleantech & Climate Innovation END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:2a5c6a9cd8fa31eb397b940f5ae88a16@technesummit.com DTSTAMP:20261004T160000Z DTSTART:20261004T160000Z DTEND:20261004T170000Z SUMMARY:Gold in the Fintech Era: Shariah Controls for Trading Gold Throug h Financial Platforms and Applications LOCATION:Multipurpose Room - Workshops A\, Bibliotheca Alexandrina\, Alex andria DESCRIPTION:With Basem Elewa.\n\nThis workshop addresses the Shariah cont rols for trading gold in light of financial technology\, across four key themes:\nThe Shariah foundation of gold as a ribawi asset and the governi ng principles for its trade.\nConstructive possession (Qabd) in the digit al age and its practical applications.\nAn anatomy of gold investment pro ducts offered through financial platforms and applications\, highlighting common Shariah issues and pitfalls.\nShariah governance and Shariah audi t of digital platforms in accordance with the adopted Shariah standards.\ n\nhttps://techne-summit-concept.pages.dev/agenda/gold-in-the-fintech-era -shariah-controls-for-trading-gold-through-fina URL:https://techne-summit-concept.pages.dev/agenda/gold-in-the-fintech-er a-shariah-controls-for-trading-gold-through-fina CATEGORIES:Fintech END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:236ec1eddb55c3d2430a7b4595c2c865@technesummit.com DTSTAMP:20261004T160000Z DTSTART:20261004T160000Z DTEND:20261004T170000Z SUMMARY:Market Entry Modes for Accelerated Growth LOCATION:Room C - Workshops C\, Bibliotheca Alexandrina\, Alexandria DESCRIPTION:With Ehab Darwish.\n\nThis workshop explores how businesses c an scale by entering new markets\, identifying growth opportunities\, and developing effective expansion strategies that drive sustainable busines s growth.\n\nhttps://techne-summit-concept.pages.dev/agenda/market-entry- modes-for-accelerated-growth URL:https://techne-summit-concept.pages.dev/agenda/market-entry-modes-for -accelerated-growth CATEGORIES:EdTech END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:6444d8ad7a0b8ff873a09a9e0f506059@technesummit.com DTSTAMP:20261004T160000Z DTSTART:20261004T160000Z DTEND:20261004T164500Z SUMMARY:Can AI See Potential Better Than Your Boss?

You brin g one real request you have been putting off\, to a client\, an employer\ , a partner\, a potential sponsor\, someone who could open a door. Over t he hour you rebuild it\, test it against real reactions in the room\, and learn what to say to each of the answers you are likely to get back\, in cluding the ones that are not a clean yes. The content comes from years o n both sides of this: making the approach\, and sitting on the receiving end of hundreds of them. You leave with a real request ready to send\, no t notes.
