Prime
Minister Mustafa Madbouli attended the launch ceremony of the Startups and
Entrepreneurship Charter.
The ceremony was
also attended by Minister of Planning, Economic Development, and International
Cooperation Rania Al-Mashat, who also heads the Ministerial Group for
Entrepreneurship, along with members of the group and a number of senior
officials.
The Startups Charter
represents a comprehensive national framework that, for the first time,
establishes an institutionalized model for cooperation between the government
and the entrepreneurship ecosystem.
It introduces clear
policies and unified executive procedures, aiming at removing obstacles facing
startups at various stages of growth, from establishment to regional and
international expansion.
The charter is
viewed as a practical roadmap to unify the efforts of concerned government
entities and to present an integrated vision that enhances the confidence of
investors and entrepreneurs in Egypt’s investment climate.
It includes a broad
package of more than 80 executive measures designed to improve the business
environment for startups through simplifying government procedures, increasing
transparency, and coordinating roles among relevant entities, thereby ensuring clear
regulatory pathways for entrepreneurs.
The charter also
aims to establish a unified definition of startups, helping identify entities
eligible for incentives and facilitations, while reducing discrepancies in
standards applied by different institutions.
