Startup Factory, in partnership with Egytrans NOSCO and with strategic sponsorship from Alexandria Container & Cargo Handling Company (ACCHCO), has announced the launch of the third edition of Logivators. The program is designed to bridge the gap between emerging technology startups and the real-world operational challenges within Egypt’s logistics and transportation sector.
The launch coincides with the introduction of the Egyptian Entrepreneurship Charter, signaling a national push to solidify Egypt’s position as a leading regional hub for logistics and port services by fostering applied innovation.
A Proven Track Record
Logivators has demonstrated significant impact in its first two editions, supporting and incubating 15 startups focused on logistics solutions. The program has a strong history of creating tangible commercial opportunities for its participants.
Over 20% of alumni startups signed Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with Egytrans NOSCO to deploy their solutions in live operational environments. Furthermore, approximately 30% of incubated startups successfully expanded into regional markets and attracted a collective total of over USD 1 million in pre-seed funding, with several alumni gaining national visibility through appearances on Shark Tank.
Evolving The Model For Greater Impact
The third edition builds on this foundation by evolving from a standard accelerator into a multi-dimensional innovation platform. This integrated model is designed to accelerate technology adoption and enhance collaboration between established industry players and emerging tech providers.
Logivators 3.0 will combine industry roundtables to identify key operational challenges, applied hackathons to develop and test technical solutions, and a targeted acceleration program to prepare startups for growth and integration into national and regional supply chains.
Strengthening Industry Collaboration
Key partners emphasized their commitment to the program’s vision of using innovation as a strategic driver for growth.
Eng. Abir Leheta, Co-CEO of Egytrans NOSCO, stated, “Our participation in its third edition reflects our belief in innovation as a cornerstone of our growth and development strategy. Logivators has enabled us to pilot emerging technology solutions in real operational environments and integrate high-impact innovations into our workflows, enhancing operational efficiency and elevating service quality.”
Dr. Nadine Abou Khadra, Executive Partner at Startup Factory, added, “The third edition of Logivators builds on a strategic initiative designed to integrate startups into the logistics innovation ecosystem and support commercially viable solutions. This enables startups to become active contributors to Egypt’s logistics sector, whether by deploying their solutions within large operational organizations such as Egytrans NOSCO or by accessing commercial opportunities locally and internationally.”
Highlighting the program’s strategic value, Mr. Hazem Abou El Nil, General Manager of Marketing and Strategic Planning at ACCHCO, commented, “Our sponsorship of Logivators reflects our strong belief in the role of technology and innovation in driving operational and strategic advancement. The program provides ACCHCO with early access to commercially viable solutions and enables collaboration with startups to develop new business opportunities.”
