Egypt Makes Electronics (EME)

Egypt Makes Electronics is a presidential initiative launched in 2015 to build Egypt's electronics sector through innovation, manufacturing, and export development. It sits above a family of sub-programs rather than a single grant line, and it is built to connect policy, industry, and university activity around electronics design and production. Delivery partners include Siemens, Fraunhofer IPK, ITI, GIZ, and the American University in Cairo. The initiative's components include innovation labs, an accelerator, product development support, skills training, business development, and industry-academia collaboration. The public page does not publish award amounts for the sub-programs, but the structure is clearly oriented toward companies and institutions working in electronics design and manufacturing. It also names strategic pillars such as investor attraction, R&D and innovation, export promotion, and workforce and machinery investment. The route is strongest for applicants that can fit into a larger industrial buildout rather than a one-off grant request. Teams should be able to show relevance to electronics design or manufacturing, a credible role in the initiative's partner ecosystem, and a practical path from technical work to production or export. The umbrella design matters: success is less about a single call and more about matching the right sub-program to the right stage of company or institution development.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
