The trip then travelled to Egypt at the beginning of September. After the KIT students arrived, the programme started immediately with lectures and workshops on the topics of ‘Ideation in DeepTech’ and ‘Supply Chain Management’. Visits to Egyptian start-ups such as Proteinea and Labtronics enabled the participants to gain valuable practical insights and cultural experience. In other workshops such as ‘The Basics of Venture Capital’ or ‘How to do a perfect pitch’, the students practised presenting their ideas to potential investors. Visits to the Greek Campus and the NilePreneurs Incubator were also on the programme. An excursion to the pyramids and the Grand Museum as well as guided tours through the historic centre of Cairo were of course also part of the programme.
The German-Egyptian TECHucate programme was a complete success: through the interplay of theory, practice and culture, the participants from both countries were able to deepen their knowledge of entrepreneurship and strengthen their intercultural skills.
TECH4Transition was developed at KIT and is implemented in cooperation with GIZ.
