Innovety has helped MSMEs, government agencies, and national institutions in Egypt strengthen their ability to manage, protect, and leverage intellectual property (IP) as a driver of competitiveness and growth. Our work with ITIDA and TIEC equipped ICT-focused MSMEs with actionable strategies to protect digital products, integrate IP into business models, and pursue commercialization opportunities. Beyond company-level interventions, we have also supported national initiatives, such as the development of Egypt’s first integrated innovation and IP strategy in collaboration with the European Business Network—ensuring stronger policy coherence and alignment with global best practices.
Our beneficiaries include ICT startups, SMEs, policymakers, and innovation stakeholders seeking to maximize the value of intangible assets. Through tailored workshops, IP roadmaps, consultations, and national frameworks, Innovety has embedded IP as a cornerstone of business sustainability and innovation-driven economic development.
Misr El Kheir Social Incubator sought to strengthen the capacity of Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs) at Egyptian universities to effectively guide entrepreneurial teams through the full cycle of technology development and commercialization. The aim was to empower TTO experts with the tools and knowledge to transform innovative ideas into market-ready solutions that address societal challenges.
Developed a comprehensive commercialization toolkit and delivered capacity-building programs for five TTOs. Our approach combined consulting, coaching, and shadowing to help TTO staff master technology scouting, assessment, and commercialization processes. We also piloted real projects to ensure the toolkit’s practical application and sustainability.
In partnership with the Technology Innovation and Entrepreneurship Centre (TIEC), this project aimed to enhance the capacity of ICT MSMEs to understand, protect, and monetize intellectual property (IP). It focused on equipping businesses with practical strategies to leverage IP as an asset for innovation, growth, and long‑term sustainability.
Designed and delivered structured training modules covering trademarks, copyrights, patents, and IP in digital contexts. Private workshops guided MSMEs through patent searches, contract drafting, and applying IP principles to their business models. One‑on‑one consultations provided tailored strategies for IP management, commercialization, and integration into broader business objectives.
Innovety collaborated with the European Business Network to address critical gaps in Egypt’s innovation and intellectual property (IP) ecosystem, including fragmented policies, underutilized IP rights, and limited cross-sectoral collaboration.

Conducted a detailed analysis of Egypt’s innovation and IP landscape, engaging key stakeholders to identify barriers and opportunities. Leveraging global best practices, developed a national innovation and IP framework with tailored education programs and policy recommendations to ensure adoption and lasting impact.
In partnership with the Technology Innovation and Entrepreneurship Centre (TIEC), the project aimed to build the IP capabilities of ICT-focused MSMEs in Egypt.
