Women in Tech Egypt

Grow and scale your business

A global accelerator, arriving in Egypt

Standard Chartered Bank, in partnership with Entlaq Holding and Village Capital, proudly introduces the Women in Tech Egypt Accelerator — a new chapter of a global program already active across 12 countries.

This isn't just a training program — it's a launchpad for women building tech-enabled businesses that solve real problems, from healthcare and education to sustainability and financial inclusion. Designed to fuel sustainable growth and help founders lead with purpose in Egypt's evolving digital economy, the program pairs structured mentorship and hands-on business training with a supportive community of ambitious entrepreneurs. And with up to USD 35,000 per year in equity-free grant funding, the opportunity to scale your business — and help shape what this program becomes in Egypt — has never been greater.
