The Falak SMEs Accelerator

A one-year, hands-on accelerator designed to help established Egyptian SMEs scale, professionalize, and access new markets and finance.

Why the Falak SMEs Accelerator?

SMEs are the backbone of the Egyptian economy, yet many reach a point where growth slows due to:

Limited access to finance

Informal or overstretched management structures

Lack of strategic planning

Difficulty entering new markets or exporting

The Falak SMEs Accelerator is not a classroom-based training. It is a practical, hands-on program that works directly with SME owners and senior managers to strengthen foundations and prepare for sustainable growth.

Strategic & Operational Strength

Shift from day-to-day problem solving to long-term planning while improving internal systems and decision-making.
