Cairo Fintech Demo Day
April 22, 2026 — Cairo, Egypt
Cairo Fintech Demo Day
Ten early-stage fintech teams pitch live to a room of regional investors and bank partners, followed by an open floor for follow-up conversations. Join us on April 22, 2026, at the Nile Tower Auditorium.

Where North African fintech meets its next cheque
Ten pitches, ninety minutes, no filler.
Demo Day is built around the pitch itself. Each team gets six minutes on stage and four minutes of questions from a panel of regional investors and bank partners — no fireside chats, no keynote padding.
The room is deliberately small. Every attending fund has committed to taking follow-up meetings on the day, so the conversations that matter happen before anyone goes home.
