Pass the challenge

Pass the challenge | Kafr El-Sheikh | GEW 2026 | NextWorld

Pass the challenge - Find the Gap brings together participants in Kafr 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  |  Find The Gap

Participants will begin by identifying real problems experienced by people and businesses around them. They will then explore who experiences each problem, why existing solutions may be insufficient and how a simple business opportunity could emerge. By the end, participants will have a simple idea connecting a problem, a customer, and a possible solution that they can test after GEW.

3:30 PM–5:30 PM  |  Founders Roundtable

Founders roundtable creates space for existing entrepreneurs to share real operational and growth challenges. Discussion topics may include customers, hiring, expansion, capital, digital adoption and the challenges of accessing entrepreneurial resources outside major startup centers. The focus is on sharing experiences, not presentations, helping entrepreneurs learn from each other and build stronger connections

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.
