The American University in Cairo's School of Business Entrepreneurship & Innovation Program (EIP) announced its National Business Idea Competition of the year, "Fekrety", in partnership with key players in the Entrepreneurial Ecosystem in Egypt and the Middle East. The deadline for Round 1 submissions is Saturday May 26th, 2012.

"Fekrety" is hunting for Egypt's most talented entrepreneurs. This competition will act as a platform where any individual or team can post their innovative business ideas, whether it is a product, service or even a combination of both, and seek access to training and mentoring on how to further nurture and develop their ideas into possible business ventures.

Through the competition, participants will be given a chance to express and market their ideas to the public, meet like minds, network with industry experts, get mentoring from faculty and experienced entrepreneurs, receive prizes, and acquire the needed exposure to help them create and launch real successful businesses.
