The Innovation Hub at Ain Shams University was proud to attend the DAAD Kairo Akademie workshop on "Fundraising Skills and Best Practices: Strategies for Successful Funder Engagement & Funding Strategy," led by the insightful Eng. Alaa Shaheen.
It was an honor to participate alongside our dedicated fellow iHub representatives and coordinators, proudly representing the Innovation and Entrepreneurship community at Ain Shams University across its various faculties.
The workshop provided a comprehensive deep dive into the strategic side of resource mobilization, shifting the collective mindset from simply asking for money to building authentic partnerships. We explored essential skillsets, diverse funding sources, and funder motivations, while also gaining practical tools for structuring an opportunity pipeline, mastering the STRT fundraising process, and crafting compelling pitch materials for winning client conversations.
We are excited to bring these strategic insights back to our initiatives at ASU and continue driving impactful innovation!
