Mapping the Egyptian Social Innovation (SI) ecosystem

We explore technical issues around mapping innovation for sustainable development locally. Organizations that have engaged in mapping diverse sectors in Egypt come together to share knowledge, exchange insights as well as bumps in the road and validate the idea of mapping Egyptian SIs while layering on open data to enable more effective development research and market analysis.
