Egypt’s Entrepreneur Awards (EEA) has entered its fifth consecutive year with the participation of Elnaggar & Partners as an ecosystem partner. The law firm, founded by corporate lawyer Ahmed Elnaggar, will contribute legal expertise and mentorship to finalists and winners. This collaboration highlights a growing emphasis on equipping entrepreneurs with the tools to scale across Egypt and the United Arab Emirates.
Legal Support for Entrepreneurs
Through this partnership, Elnaggar & Partners will deliver tailored workshops and consultations to shortlisted companies, focusing on critical aspects of corporate law. The firm will also provide one winning company with direct support for expansion into the UAE, offering legal advisory, licensing assistance, and transaction management. These efforts are designed to help entrepreneurs navigate complex regulatory environments while fostering sustainable growth.
Elnaggar’s Vision
Commenting on the partnership, Ahmed Elnaggar emphasized that legal knowledge should empower rather than hinder entrepreneurial growth. He explained that the firm’s role is to simplify legal frameworks, enabling startups to scale with confidence and sustainability. By bridging Egyptian and Emirati markets, he aims to unlock opportunities for entrepreneurs seeking regional expansion.
A Leading Legal Institution
Founded in 2013, Elnaggar & Partners is recognized as the UAE’s first fully integrated law firm offering comprehensive business-related legal services under a single roof. The firm leverages a digital platform to make corporate legal advisory more accessible and efficient for clients of all sizes. Today, it serves as a key entry point for Egyptian companies exploring opportunities in the UAE market.
Initiatives Beyond the Firm
In addition to managing his practice, Ahmed Elnaggar has established several initiatives to strengthen the region’s legal ecosystem. He founded the Emirates Legal Network, a professional community for lawyers in the UAE that promotes collaboration and knowledge-sharing. He also launched “The Jurist,” a content platform producing articles, podcasts, and videos to make legal topics more approachable for entrepreneurs and the wider public.
Strengthening the Awards’ Ecosystem
The inclusion of Elnaggar & Partners as an ecosystem partner demonstrates EEA’s commitment to engaging experienced professional institutions in support of entrepreneurs. By integrating legal and economic expertise at a regional level, the awards aim to strengthen the broader entrepreneurship ecosystem. This approach helps ensure that business founders operate within transparent, structured, and supportive environments.
