The 4th edition of the Startups Without Borders summit will take place on the 10th and 11th of February at Cairo Business Park, East Cairo's Business, Innovation and Entrepreneurship hub.
Since 2018, Startups Without Borders has been building world-class events where diversity takes centre stage, gathering over 12,000 entrepreneurs from the MENA and Europe across different cultures and nationalities.
The summit is themed: "Go Borderless," and will explore borderless opportunities across 4 main tracks: Future Tech, Impact, Investment and for the first time SWB debuts the Talent Track, sponsored by The Room, ALX.

"For the past 5 years, we have gone from city to city in the MENA and Europe on a mission to build a transnational ecosystem for entrepreneurs, no matter where they come from. We continued to do so virtually during the pandemic, and now we couldn't be more excited to gather in person again in Cairo, bringing startup delegations from unexpected places such as the Gaza strip and Baghdad and investors from all corners of the world, from Italy to Bangladesh. We are guided by the strong belief that talent doesn't have a passport, and the summit is our biggest and loudest testament to that."
