Map the opportunity - Opportunity Mapping brings together participants in Sharm El Sheikh 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  |  Opportunity Mapping

Participants will explore how entrepreneurial opportunities, and how to benefit from the problems around them and their needs, and turning it into opportunity. No previous entrepreneurship experience is required.

3:30 PM–5:30 PM  |  Opportunity Proof

Participants will explore customer needs, local opportunities, existing capabilities and how to evaluate whether an opportunity could become a sustainable business.

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.
