Transcript:

What do you think we can do ? or what ideas can encourage us to work on this matter?
Do you have any ideas for us and for other of course ?
No no I love it to decide something I have to come up with an idea

To honest its our mistake
First thing we need is to be connected
If you want to be connected with others
You have to have incentive , no matter what it is
Whether its financial incentive
Or a self expression
Or self fulfillment
You must have incentive
And if you have incentive there must be results
[from minute 18:35 – 18:38 so fast that I can’t get ]
Frankly it did an amazing job trying to bring technology from Egypt
One thing that could really help is exchanging programs
People form here to go to Egypt or from there to come here
But we have to do it regular like every 2 months or 3 to keep connected
The second thing which its name is exchanging programs to the see the tasks
I think we need to better work on communicating the results
Do you understand what I mean ?
People get excited if they felt that there work gives results
So what im saying that we had 10 startup
And now we have 25 startup thanks to this program
That gets people excited
That gets people excited
The third thing I think we could really need is
We should make it cool to work with people back home
And to work with people in Egypt
you should make it the fun things to do
we are very good at marketing
if you watch our Ads at TV you will find out that we are very creative
now lets not make it just like oh this is a tech entrepreneurial programs
lets make it fun
lets make it hip
lets make it fun to be entrepreneur
so it’s a very high level
we have to think about it somewhere
