Is Egypt a Market too Big to Ignore? - GeeksTap Tech Networking & Learning
GeeksTap with Fadi Antaki & Malak El Masry: Is Egypt a Market too Big to Ignore?
What happens when 110 million people come online?
One of the world's largest unbanked populations. A rapidly digitizing economy. A startup ecosystem attracting growing attention from founders, investors, and operators across Africa and the Middle East.
While much of the global startup conversation focuses on Silicon Valley, Europe, or the Gulf, Egypt is quietly emerging as one of the region's most compelling technology and fintech markets.
In this GeeksTap session, Fadi Antaki, Partner at A15 & Malak El Masry, Director of Programs at RiseUp, explore the evolution of Egypt's startup ecosystem, the rise of fintech, the Saudi-Egypt-MENA corridor, and why many believe the country's biggest opportunities are still ahead.
If you're interested in startups, venture capital, fintech, emerging markets, Africa, MENA, or high-growth technology ecosystems, this conversation is for you.
About GeeksTap
GeeksTap is a weekly virtual gathering for founders, investors, and startup operators from around the world.
Each session brings together people who are actively building companies, backing them with capital, or helping scale them. The goal is simple: create a space where startup practitioners can share real lessons, ask thoughtful questions, and meet others working through similar challenges.
This is a conversation, not a webinar.
