Gemini Enterprises Africa, part of Orascom Group, has launched the “Gemini Uplift Initiative” to help startup founders tackle their most pressing on-ground operational issues and challenges while unlocking business opportunities to build a more sustainable future.

Gemini Enterprises Africa says the Gemini Uplift Initiative will be held online throughout and after the Holy month of Ramadan in coordination with 45+ local, regional, and international partners through tracks named Money, Matchmaking, and Mentorship.

In a statement, Engineer Naguib Sawiris, Executive Chairman of Orascom Investment Holding, stated: “I am very excited about kicking off the Gemini Uplift Initiative. We believe in the importance of our responsibility to act now. Together with our partners, we are sure that we can uplift our entrepreneurs and startups to stand strong and sustain their businesses during these hard times. We will not let the Coronavirus beat us.”

The Money track provides co-investment opportunities and connections to future potential investors for pre-series A applicants in addition to acceleration programs with options to receive equity free funding.

Partners for the Money track include: World Food Programme (WFP) – MINT by EGbank – Nahdet El Mahrousa – Alex Angels – Catalyst Partners – MAIN – MED Angels – Foundation Ventures – Egypt Ventures.

The Matchmaking track provides two-way business matchmaking opportunities in which entrepreneurs with running operations are able to get in touch with real businesses needs through the right market exposure, in addition to acquiring business leads and access to their customers’ data. By doing so, large companies can extend their business operations to startups in order to implement new projects within the market in the least amount of time.
