From Idea to Impact

From Idea to Impact | Ismailia | GEW 2026 | NextWorld

From Idea to Impact - Ideas & Entrepreneurial Voices brings together participants in Ismailia for a practical afternoon of entrepreneurship learning, peer exchange and community connection. The day is structured around two complementary activities for different stages of the entrepreneurial journey.

1:00 PM–3:00 PM  |  Idea to Impact

Students will work through identifying a problem, selecting a potential customer, creating a simple value proposition, and deciding what assumption to test first. No previous entrepreneurship experience is required.

3:30 PM–5:30 PM  |  Entrepreneurial Voices

The session will bring entrepreneurs together to share real experiences and learn from each other. Attendees will share current challenges, swap ideas and solutions and reinforce connections with other local entrepreneurs.

Networking and closing connect participants across both activities. Attendees should leave with stronger local connections, clearer next steps and practical ideas they can continue testing after GEW.
