Innovation Arena · Breakthrough

You made it through. Show how.

Breakthrough shows ventures that made it through the bottleneck, the moment the venture could have died. Stands are earned, not handed out: founders apply for a limited number of places, and selected ventures get a free stand and a Main Stage slot. In return they tell their story, show their product and help the founders coming after them. It is a selection, not a competition: no ranking, no winners, no prize. About 7 minutes to apply, mostly multiple choice.

Before you start

Four quick questions, so nobody fills a long form they cannot qualify for. The application takes about 7 minutes, mostly multiple choice.

Do you have paying customers today?
Has the venture been operating for at least 2 years?
Is the venture operating in Egypt?
If selected, can a founder give the Main Stage talk, and can the team staff the stand 10:00 to 19:00 on 8, 9 and 10 November?
