Egypt's Entrepreneur Awards (EEA), the first platform in Egypt that recognises, and connects Egypt's most innovative, successful, and resilient entrepreneurs, announced a total of 35 shortlisted candidates, as selected by 38 prominent jury members across 11 categories.
This year&rsquo;s edition brought new categories including &ldquo;Next Gen Intrapreneur of the Year&rdquo;, &ldquo;Rising Entrepreneur of the Year&rdquo;, &ldquo;Entrepreneur for Good Award&rdquo; and &ldquo;From Art to Business&rdquo;
Across all the categories, the 3rd edition of the competition received 286 applications entrepreneurs, and after significant deliberations by a panel of distinguished jury members, 35 numbers of nominees were chosen as finalists.
Amr Mansi, EEA&rsquo;s Founder and CEO, spoke at the shortlisting ceremony about how these finalists, and previous editions&rsquo; finalists and winners, are distinguished by their innovative and successful businesses and their tangible impact on their respective industries. &ldquo;We created this platform three years ago with a mission to recognize local, and now regional entrepreneurs, in a way that acknowledges their journey to success that has not been done before. Through challenging times, these entrepreneurs have shown resilience and created real value for their industries in innovative and tangible ways such as product market fit, growth, and financial stability, as well as social impact. They are an unseen force contributing to this economy and a source of inspiration for the next generation of entrepreneurs.&rdquo; Mansi also thanked EEA&rsquo;s jury members, who are some of&nbsp; Egypt&rsquo;s most dynamic and inspirational entrepreneurs, business leaders and industry pioneers.
For the first time, the shortlisting event witnessed the &ldquo;Ideation Competition&rdquo; that is created by EEA &amp; MINT by EGBANK. The competition targets young entrepreneurs from the age of 18 till 29 years. The young entrepreneurs presented their ideas and will be chosen based on the clarity, usability and scalability of this idea, in addition to its impact socially, environmentally, economically or financial benefits for the community and stakeholders.
The jury members will meet to deliberate and interview the finalists over the next few weeks. Selected winners from the 14 categories will be announced at the awards ceremony on the 10th of June in Cairo.
