In this context, Yahya Othman, CEO of "Business Lobby," stated that building business communities is no longer just about organizing traditional events. Instead, it's about creating sustainable, interactive environments that empower entrepreneurs and investors to turn meetings into genuine, long-term partnerships.

He explained that the fifth event is sponsored by Startup Sync, a platform that provides a digital and interactive environment bringing together entrepreneurs, investors, and experts in one place.

It extends to building integrated systems capable of creating sustainable long-term value. He expressed pride in supporting "Business Lobby" as a model that redefines the concept of business communities.

Ali clarified that "Edafa Venture" aims for further success in empowering startups and accelerating growth and innovation in the region. He highlighted its role in supporting "Business Lobby" since it joined its investment portfolio, by enhancing operational capabilities and broadening its vision towards building a comprehensive business community.

It's worth noting that Edafa Venture acquired the "Business Lobby" platform in November 2024. This acquisition was part of a strategy to build an integrated environment that empowers startups and connects them with investors both locally and internationally.

"Business Lobby" also plans to organize four events this year, starting with the first in May. Two events will be held within Egypt, concluding with an international event in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia, as part of the platform's regional expansion.

The fourth edition of the program, held in August 2025, saw 40 startups participate, with 15 advancing to the final stage. This resulted in the selection of 3 winning companies, which were then connected with several foreign investors, reflecting the program's expanding regional and international impact.

In its current edition, "Business Lobby" is preparing to offer a more advanced model that combines funding, investment opportunities, and professional certifications. It will include financial prizes along with MBA scholarships for participants, aiming to boost entrepreneurs' efficiency and support their readiness for growth and expansion.

The company also announced the launch of the "Robo Venture" competition as part of "Edafa Venture's" plan. This initiative aims to connect two companies from its investment portfolio by offering shared services, thereby improving service levels, enhancing operational efficiency, and increasing added value.

This development aligns with "Edafa Venture's" vision to build a comprehensive entrepreneurship ecosystem that relies on the integration of platforms and services, supporting the transformation of nascent ideas into companies capable of competing regionally and internationally.
