Do you have an idea or a dream of a project that you think will help Egypt's development?
There are different approaches for development and at Nahdet El Mahrousa, we believe the best approach for Egypt's development is to nurture nascent ideas into nation-wide projects to improve the lives of Egyptians.
This is where the "Incubator" model comes in. The idea of an incubator was originally created by businesses, but we've adopted it for the non-profit world. Nahdet El Mahrousa Incubator for innovative development ideas is the first of its kind in
It is the model we can use to test a pilot project and, if the project proves successsful, it can be implemented nation-wide. This way, any Egyptian youth with an idea and the commitment to make Egypt a better place has a chance to make it a reality.
So if you have a project idea that fits NM criteria, through the NM Incubator, we will offer you the institutional framework, management and research support, training, and a small loan to ensure the success and growth of your new project idea.
What does the NM Incubator offers projects specifically?
Through an effective cost-sharing system, incubated projects typically benefit from Nahdet El Mahrousa Incubator in a number of ways: Infrastructure: NM provides communication facilities (24 hour fast internet access, telephone lines and email accounts), as well as, business facilities (including a fully equipped meeting room, shared computers/printers/scanners) for all incubated projects. Financial support: a one-time small funding is available for projects starting up based upon availability.
The green arm has 4 pillars:
Why the Green Arm? The urban environment in Today, many youth-led environmental initiatives are emerging, and seeking support to really make an impact. The have a comparative advantage of creative energy, demand-driven action, and powerful online networking compared to the older organizations in this field. This should be appreciated and supported with professional guidance to address the right problems, to sustain their activity, andto offer institutional support. Other than providing support, encouraging peer empowerment among youth through networking and positive communication is the culture that we strive for. "practice what they preach" in terms of improvement of the urban environment and greener living. Having a youth led organization will provide a credible model for social change.
Who are we? A team of members and volunteers of Nahdet El-Mahrousa with the needed expertise mix in environmental and social ventures and experience in environmental education and awareness.

The Young Innovators’ Awards (YIA) Program was incubated at NM in 2004 with the mission of stimulating the culture of research and development (R&D) in Egypt. The program aims to positively impact the scientific culture in Egypt in three ways: by supporting research and development activities; empowering and developing scientists, engineers and researchers; and creating linkages between university research and industrial applications. Over the past years, the program has grown to cover all national Egyptian universities, including all 67 faculties of Engineering, Agriculture and Sciences, and has implemented partnership with numerous businesses, government agencies, and educational institutions. To-date, more than 2,500 young scientists, engineers and researchers in these universities have received the YIA awards. YIA’s Inspiration: ·

The Award for Excellence in Graduation Projects (Application Open Deadline 28th of Feb, 2012)

The Program sponsors a merit-based competition that provides research projects, developed by students in Egypt’s national universities, EGP 6,000 to implement their project. Applicants submit an entry form endorsed by their academic advisor, and a proposal detailing the project plan and budget projections. The selected students will be affiliated within the Engineering, Science, Computer Science and Agriculture faculties (78 faculties). The evaluation of the projects is entrusted to experienced scientists and practitioners in the area of R&D, with possible participation from private sector donors’ representatives.

A pilot has been implemented at Cairo University, Faculty of Engineering, Electronics and Telecommunications Department. The team raised EGP 32,000 from individual contributions towards renewable annual awards. Six awards have been disbursed to thirty students among the top in their class. One of these groups participated in the scientific contest of the University of Waterloo, Canada, and won second place while another participated in a similar contest in India. This was a good start for the YIA award winners to break the mold and pursue their dreams nationally and internationally.
The Team raised EGP 65,000 from individual/family contributions towards renewable annual awards. The competition took place at Cairo University and Ain-Shams University, Faculty of Engineering, Telecommunication and Mechanical Department. 10 Awards have been disbursed to 50 students. One group was offered a part-time job by Proctor & Gamble and is currently discussing the purchase of their project.
The team successfully built an ongoing sponsorship agreement with British Gas (EGP 75,000), Mobinil (EGP 75,000), Challenger Limited (EGP 50,000), Proctor & Gamble (EGP 40,000) and Adcom Ericsson (EGP 30,000). We also raised EGP 56,000 from individual/family contributions towards renewable annual awards. The team successfully built a cooperation agreement with Alexandria University, Mansura University, and Minia University, while also introducing the Chemical Engineering and Bio-Medical Engineering Departments, extending the YIA reach to six national universities--serving a pool of ~200 students.
The project is now a sustainable national program that is applied in all 22 national faculties of Engineering, stimulating the culture of Research and Development by supporting engineering graduation projects as well as junior innovative ideas. The team has partnered with the Industrial Modernization Centre (IMC) to fund this initiative.
On top of the annual Awards, the YIA added an Internships program and a Scholarships program, both in partnership with the IMC. Also, the YIA partnered with Samsung and the International Youth Foundation (IYF) to inaugurate the Samsung Real Dreams Awards, which offers EGP 10,000 in seed money to young Egyptians looking to expand their prototypes into a business start-up. With its four distinct programs, the YIA can now help fund students’ experiences and projects at all stages of their education and even after their graduation.
