Alexandria Library has concluded the Taamouha entrepreneurship camp, a program supporting 14 startups operating in Egypt, in partnership with Germany’s Hans Seidel Foundation.
Organized through the library’s Women’s Studies and Social Transformation program, the closing forum brought together business community representatives and specialists in finance, management, taxation and exports.
According to the announcement, the camp included two training stages. The first covered financial management, project management and entrepreneurship fundamentals, while the second focused on business development, expansion and growth. Participants also received individual mentoring in marketing and finance, alongside practical training delivered over six separate days at the library.
The program targeted startups already active in the Egyptian market, with many having operated for at least one or two years. Sessions also addressed tax obligations, electronic tax services and the requirements for entering export markets, including quality standards, market research and competitive pricing.
Hans Seidel Foundation representative Thomas Schama said the foundation remains interested in supporting the private sector and developing financially sustainable business models. He also pointed to plans to continue working with Alexandria Library and explore similar entrepreneurship initiatives in other Egyptian governorates, including Luxor.
The forum also highlighted support for women entrepreneurs, including access to training, advisory services, investors and local and international markets.
