R&Din Egypt

Of 53 countries ranked by the Global Entre-

preneurship Monitor, on R&D Egypt is 50.

R&D expenditures, until recently, are a mere

0.25% of GD while linkages and opportuni-

ties for university graduates in the market

remain weak.

What we need to changeBut...Egypt leads in number of published

scienti�c articles in the Arab World, and is in

the top 40 in the world. Plus, we have the

only Nobel Laureate in science in the Arab

World
