About Innovate Egypt: 
Innovate Egypt is designed to support the advancement of early-stage science and technology innovation and commercialization in Egypt. Together, we’re working to support the future of Egyptian innovation, building connections between investors and innovators, and deepening collaboration between leading public and private institutions in the Egyptian and U.S. entrepreneurial ecosystems. 

Innovate Egypt is funded through the U.S.-Egypt Science and Technology (S&T) Joint Board.
The U.S.-Egypt S&T Joint Board was established under an agreement between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the Arab Republic of Egypt to strengthen scientific and technological capabilities between both countries. This makes Innovate Egypt a unique partnership between the Science, Technology, and Innovation Funding Authority (STDF), the Egyptian Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the U.S. Department of State, VentureWell, and the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. Innovate Egypt activities are made possible by the generous support of the American people through the United States Agency for International Development.
