With over three mn entrepreneurs in Egypt, those undeterred by how the government handled the feed-in tariff program have been drawn to agriculture, industry, and renewable energy projects, Wamda reports. Nawart, a cross disciplinary incubation project for small scale renewable startups, has presented 15 projects it believes can help the government meet the renewable energy target if mentored properly. The projects range between biogas to solar street lighting, with three market ready prototypes out of the 15, including water pumping startup Sun City Energy and hybrid energy provider Taqa Gededa. “We strive to reach a point where [the Nawart startups’] products can be 100% manufactured locally and also start competing internationally,” said Trade and Industry Ministry representative Hanan El-Hadary, noting her ministry was willing to provide funding, technical support, marketing, and machinery for startups with a small price or even at no cost.
