| Abstract |
Abstract:<br/>This research investigates the ecosystem of social entrepreneurship in Egypt, with <br/>a particular focus on the role of not-for-profit incubators in supporting Innovative <br/>Impact-Driven Social Enterprises (IISEs). The study aims to understand how these <br/>incubators contribute to the scalability and financial sustainability of IISEs amidst <br/>the challenges and opportunities within the Egyptian context. Utilising a qualitative <br/>methodology, the research integrates a comprehensive literature review with semistructured interviews involving eight managers from diverse not-for-profit <br/>incubators, including governmental, university-affiliated, and NGO-operated <br/>entities. <br/>The analysis model developed from the interviews and literature review delineates <br/>the support structure into two main categories: structuring support efforts, including <br/>pre-incubation and in-kind support, and facilitation support efforts, such as <br/>government support and access to finance. This model also explores the profile of <br/>not-for-profit incubators, detailing their mission, services, strategic partnerships, <br/>and the challenges they face in fostering the growth of IISEs. <br/>Findings highlight that not-for-profit incubators provide critical seed funding and <br/>in-kind services for business development, market validation, and legal support, <br/>culminating in Demo Day events for connecting startups with potential investors. <br/>However, the study identifies significant operational and structural challenges that <br/>impede the effectiveness of these support mechanisms, including regulatory <br/>hurdles, funding limitations, and the need for more strategic alignment among <br/>support entities. <br/>The research underscores the importance of a collaborative and integrated approach <br/>among not-for-profit incubators, government bodies, and private sector stakeholders <br/>to enhance the ecosystem's support for IISEs. By addressing the identified <br/>challenges and leveraging the strengths of the support mechanisms, the study <br/>Page | 6 <br/>contributes to the broader objective of fostering a conducive environment for the <br/>growth and sustainability of social enterprises in Egypt, thereby enhancing their <br/>social impact and financial viability. <br/>Keywords: access to finance, not-for-profit Incubation, Egyptian social <br/>entrepreneurship ecosystem, Scaling Impact, resilient social business, innovative <br/>impact-driven social enterprises, financial sustainability. <br/> |
