**Application open**: Deep-Tech EME Acceleration Program 2026, Egypt! 🚀

Powe­ring the Next Era of DeepT­ech Inno­va­ti­on in Egypt

EME Acce­le­ra­tor is a high-impact acce­le­ra­ti­on initia­ti­ve desi­gned to empower visio­na­ry Egyp­ti­an start­ups in elec­tro­nics, smart sys­tems, and indus­try 4.0. Laun­ched through a stra­te­gic col­la­bo­ra­ti­on bet­ween our­sel­ves, the IT Indus­try Deve­lo­p­ment Agen­cy (ITIDA), the Egypt Makes Elec­tro­nics (EME) initia­ti­ve, and GIZ Egypt. With this pro­gram we hope to bridge the gap bet­ween Egyp­ti­an inno­va­ti­on and our excel­lent tech­ni­cal Munich eco­sys­tem.
