Embracing “Tech for Good” We believe that it has never been easier to use digital technology to tackle some of the world’s toughest social and environmental challenges. While some are still considering the challenges and barriers, new startups are thinking ‘solutions’ to the benefit of millions of people. This year we partnered for the first time with SAP to tackle one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals - Clean Water and Sanitation. We enter the new year by presenting the outcomes of this collaboration at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland. We are also thrilled to announce that in 2019 we will be running our first innovation program focused on financial inclusion in Cairo, Egypt. 67% of the Egypt population do not have a bank account while family and friends remain the key source of borrowing money with only 9% of the population relying on financial institutions. With Startupbootcamp FinTech Cairo we aim to make financial services accessible at affordable costs to all individuals and businesses and to boost the ecosystem in the region.
