Cairo, Egypt – June 19, 2025 – In a significant move towards fostering sustainable economic development, Mentors Gate Development is deepening its collaboration with the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises Development Agency (MSMEDA). This partnership aims to leverage the vast potential of Egyptian SMEs, startups, and scale-ups to drive innovative solutions, particularly in the context of Egypt’s green growth agenda.
During the recent launch of the Industrial Wastewater Treatment Program, a key highlight was the shared vision with MSMEDA’s Executive Director, Bassel Rahmy. Discussions underscored the immense potential within Egypt, especially concerning the Suez Canal’s strategic role. This collaboration is set to empower local businesses, enabling them to provide essential services and integrate into existing value chains.
Mentors Gate, with its extensive global network and expertise in SME acceleration, is uniquely positioned to identify and nurture businesses capable of tackling critical challenges. The focus is on implementing solutions that not only benefit Egypt but could also be adapted and scaled for application in other countries, fostering a truly global impact.
A crucial aspect of this reinforced partnership involves exploring new avenues for cooperation, including potential collaborations on the New Suez Canal development. Furthermore, MSMEDA is anticipated to be integral to upcoming initiatives, such as a possible joint effort with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and Mentors Gate on powder milk production, which could be aimed at enhancing food security and economic opportunities.
By potentially working hand-in-hand, Mentors Gate and MSMEDA are committed to fixing fundamental issues from the ground up, ensuring that growth is not only robust but also inherently sustainable. This potential collaboration represents a powerful synergy, bringing together entrepreneurial dynamism with governmental support to unlock Egypt’s economic potential while advancing its environmental goals.
