In addition, graduates will have job opportunities with Bokra and its partners in various fields, opening new paths for career growth.
The Academy’s Role in Supporting “Digital Egypt”
Bokra Academy aims to create an integrated loop that starts with education and ends with career or entrepreneurial success. This initiative is part of Egypt’s strategy to achieve digital transformation and develop a knowledge-based economy. The academy supports this direction by empowering students with the skills and knowledge required in the digital age.
New Opportunities for Entrepreneurs
Through the partnership between Bokra and CIC, the EGP 10 million fund opens new doors for ambitious creatives, offering them the support and resources needed to turn their ideas into real projects. The fund is not just a means of financing but also an opportunity to empower youth and provide strategic guidance, increasing their chances of success in the Egyptian and global markets.
The Future of Entrepreneurship in Egypt
