EgyptNEGMA

EgyptNEGMA Following the transformative and inspiring days of the January 25th Egyptian Revolution, many of us felt compelled to take action to help Egypt.

www.EgyptNEGMA.org The NEGMA Conference seeks to bring together thoughtful and imaginative Egyptian-American professionals and friends of Egypt interested in developing concrete ideas to contribute to a brighter future for Egypt. Within the Egyptian-American community, great passion and resources are available to catalyze innovation and sustainable development in a New Egypt. The NEGMA Conference

hopes to contribute to this effort by inviting all friends of Egypt to submit proposals for projects you believe will benefit Egypt in the coming years. The NEGMA Conference is to be a point of intersection to promote the brightest ideas for a New Egypt through Networking, Entrepreneurship, Growth, Mobilization, and Action. NEGMA aims to bring forward the best ideas, to further develop these new ideas through dynamic workshops, and to ultimately connect entrepreneurs and innovators with funders. We invite you to go through our website and learn more about how you can contribute to a brighter future for Egypt. The NEGMA Conference is above all a call to action, and we hope you will be a part of the transformation to build a creative, forward-thinking, and self-sustaining Egypt for the coming generation. Be a part of the change.


نجمة – نــهضة مصربروح الـجــماعة و الـمــبادرة و الـتــواصل

النشأة:
تأسست نجمة بعد أحداث 25 يناير حيث اجتمعت مجموعة من سبعة أفراد من المصريين و المصريين الأمريكيين من جامعة هارفارد و معهد ماسيتشوستس للتكنولوجيا ليتسائلوا عن ما يمكن فعله لنقل الأفكار إلى مبادرات فعلية على أرض الواقع حتى تنهض مصر و يتحقق لها مستقبل باهر. و بالتفكير فيما يخص الاحتياجات الاجتماعية و الاقتصادية في مصر, وجدنا أننا محتاجين إلى منظمة تدعم الابتكار لتساعد على خلق فرص عمل و تحدث تأثير اجتماعي ملموس. و لم يرد المؤسسون أن يركزوا على قطاع صناعي معين على وجه الحصر, و إنما نحن نشجع و ندعم أي مشاريع ابتكارية من شأنها أن تحدث تأثير اجتماعي و اقتصادي واسع في مصر. مؤتمر نجمة و من بعده مؤسسة نجمة هما تصور و تطور لهذه المبادرة.

الرؤية:
نطمح في نجمة للتعرف على و تحديد رواد الأعمال و المبتكرين الاجتماعيين الذين يعملون للتصدي لكبرى التحديات التي تواجه مصر. و لدعم رؤيتنا هذه أسسنا مؤتمر نجمة لنساعد على ترجمة الأفكر إلى مبادرات فعلية تساعد على تحقيق مستقبل باهر لمصر. مؤتمر نجمة سيكون مؤتمر سنوي لجمع كل الأفراد الذين يريدون إحداث تطور اقتصادي و اجتماعي و هدفنا هو نهضة مصر بروح الجماعة, و روح المبادرة و التواصل البناء. و لدعم رؤيتنا أيضا تم تأسيس منظمة نجمة في 2011 كمؤسسة غير قابلة للربح في ولاية ماسيتشوستس الأمريكية.

المهمة:
نسعى من خلال مؤتمر نجمة لتحقيق الأهداف التالية على مدار يومين :
1. توفير الفرصة لعشر مشروعات من مختلف القطاعات ليحصلوا على ردود أفعال مهنية على مقترحاتهم لهذه المشاريع من خلال مجموعات تدريب عملية
2. توفير الفرصة للتواصل بين مختلف الأفراد و رواد الأعمال و المستثمرين لتفعيل الأفكار إلى واقع عملي
3. بناء الشراكات بين المنظمات المصرية في الداخل و الخارج لإحداث آثارا إيجابية من خلال التنمية المستديمة في مصر
4. منح الجوائز لأفضل المشروعات المقترحة و التي سيتم عرضها في المؤتمر في فقرة "Impact Egypt! Competition"
5. تحسين و تطوير المهارات من خلال ورش عمل لبناء القدرات المختلفة

مؤتمر نجمة يطمح إلى أن يكون منصة مليئة بالمتعة و التفاعل تجمع بين الأفكار المشرقة و المبادرات الاجتماعية للتنمية المستديمة في مصر و تدفعها نحو التقدم و الانطلاق.

المدى البعيد:
تأسست نجمة لتملأ فراغا مهماً في نشأة نطاق ريادة الأعمال في مصر. و من خلال مشاركة أعضاء من المصريين في الخارج مع المبتكرين و رواد الأعمال, تسعى نجمة لخلق مناخ مستديم للحوار و تبادل الأفكار بين المصريين في الداخل و الخارج. و من ناحية أخرى فإن نجمة تسعى إلى خلق مجتمع من المبتكرين و رواد الأعمال ينضم أعضاؤه إلى شبكة خريجي نجمة و ذلك من خلال رعاية مؤتمر سنوي تتنافس فيه المشروعات على الموارد لدعمها في الانطلاق نحو التطبيق.

"Educate-Me is a registered Egyptian non-profit foundation that was founded in 2010 and aspires to redefine education in Egypt. Through a grass-roots community-based and community-driven model, Educate-Me serves underprivileged communities with a vision of giving every child the knowledge, skills and attitudes that enables him/her to have the freedom and opportunity to aspire to their dreams.

I applied for NEGMA to get access to a network of experts I wouldn't otherwise be able to reach out to, and to create international awareness about Educate-Me. The incubator was the most relevant and innovative support program I have personally attended, being centered around each entrepreneur depending on his/her individual needs. Also the combination of workshops, field visits along with enough room for reflection was very beneficial. My teammate and I benefited a lot specially from monitoring and evaluation, and this workshop helped structure our research for the following year."
