Egypt is now part of the Mastercard Foundation EdTech Fellowship, previously offered in South Africa, Kenya, and Nigeria. Promising African ed-tech startups are supported by the Mastercard Foundation EdTech Fellowship, an entrepreneurial acceleration programme introduced in 2019.

It offers vital financial, educational, and business support to help ed-tech enterprises grow, become sustainable, and make a more significant impact.

The Mastercard Foundation EdTech Fellowship has a track record of accomplishment, funding several businesses in Kenya, South Africa, and Nigeria.

Building on this momentum, the programme has now been launched in Egypt thanks to a strategic agreement with Nahdet Misr Group’s investment arm, EdVentures, a well-known MENA-based ed-tech venture capital business.

Twelve startups have been chosen for the initial eight-month programme, comprising specialised training, mentorship, workshops, networking, and course access. Each startup will receive US$60,000 in equity-free funding.

Over the next three years, the fellowship will support 36 ed-tech startups, driving positive change in the education sector.

The founder and CEO of EdVentures, Dalia Ibrahim, declared they are honoured to partner with Mastercard Foundation, a testament to their impact in Egypt’s ed-tech sector. This partnership is pivotal for the ed-tech industry, aligning with their mission to foster innovation and empower young entrepreneurs.

Also, in partnership, they will continue to shape a robust ed-tech ecosystem in Egypt, redefining learning experiences. They eagerly anticipate the forthcoming cycles, each contributing to their shared vision of a brighter future for education.
