🚀 Engaging with Egypt’s Thriving VC Ecosystem! 🇪🇬 We had the privilege of participating in the recent Annual Egypt VC Summit in Cairo.  Peter Orth, joined the panel on "Exploring Collaboration with International VCs to Unlock Egypt’s Potential," discussing key themes around cross-border investment, scaling strategies, and ecosystem challenges. We also partnered with Algebra Ventures and Enza Capital to host a mixer after the summit. It was great to see so many familiar and new faces from the ecosystem together for the event! The energy in the room was high, and following a few leaner years, we’re seeing significant excitement around the tech ecosystem in Egypt from founders, local investors and global capital. Exciting times ahead! Looking forward to continuing to support the ecosystem and build bridges between local founders and global capital partners, and for some additional breakout success stories from Egypt in the coming years!. 🌍💡 #VentureCapital #Startups #EgyptVC #Innovation #4DXVentures
