To be held between October 15-19 at the Creativa Innovation Hub – Giza, the Bootcamp for Accelerator Managers: Egypt (BAM Egypt) will introduce curated lessons and best practices, including attracting quality deal flow, how to find experienced mentors, and designing valuable curricula.
According to a statement by the MCIT, the program builds on ITIDA's expertise and 500 Global’s track record of running 85+ accelerator programs around the world.
It is tailored to train accelerators and incubators and help them learn from the challenges others have faced, it added.
