Partnership announcement
The Portfolio partners with the Global Entrepreneurship Festival
Your portfolio opens doors. This November, we are taking that idea to Cairo.
The Portfolio is proud to announce its partnership with the Global Entrepreneurship Festival. GEF 2026 brings entrepreneurs and changemakers from across the world to Cairo for what its organizers call the biggest entrepreneurship event in the world.
It is the kind of place where ideas meet opportunity, conversations spark collaboration, and connections open doors to new markets and possibilities. That is also what we built The Portfolio to do for students and early-career professionals: turn what you know and what you have made into something people can see, share and act on.
The World We Help to Create
GEF 2026 runs under the theme “The World We Help to Create,” bringing people together to shape what comes next. Rather than only hearing about it, the festival invites you to take part in the experience.
What the festival covers
The programme is built around twelve elements, from the opening conference to the closing concert:
- 01Opening Conference
- 02Networking Sessions
- 03Breakout Sessions
- 04Business Pitch to Investors (EIP)
- 05Global Entrepreneurs Award
- 06Global Deal Room
- 07Art, Culture and Creative Exhibition
- 08Business Exhibitions
- 09Global Leadership Forum
- 10International Women's Congress
- 11International Fashion Show
- 12Closing Concert
Why this partnership matters
A portfolio is most useful at the moment you meet someone new. A festival with pitches, a deal room, exhibitions and networking sessions is full of those moments. Having a clear, professional page to point people to makes every introduction easier to follow up on.
