This milestone is backed by Edafa Venture Capital, a Saudi-Egyptian investment firm that acquired a 35% stake in the academy at the close of 2024. The announcement was made during a grand event attended by over 15,000 participants, marking a new chapter in the academy\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n

    Edafa Venture Capital is a prominent firm in direct startup investments and is the strategic investment arm of Saudi Arabia’s Edafa Group.<\/p>\n

He expressed enthusiasm for fostering innovation and supporting initiatives that shape a promising future for young learners.<\/p>\n

    Ali emphasized, \u201cWe align with the state\u2019s vision to integrate programming and robotics into early education. Our focus is on key industrial zones to bridge the gap between graduates and job opportunities. Starting with Borg El Arab and the 10th of Ramadan, we aim to continue expanding to 6th of October City. Our mission is to collaborate with companies in these regions to provide graduates with the skills needed for the workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Additionally, Ali announced new agreements with two Saudi schools to introduce innovative curricula through Ebdaa\u2019s interactive platform, facilitating access to advanced educational resources for students.<\/p>\n

    Revolutionizing Education Through Strategic Partnerships<\/h3>\n

    Iman Salah, CEO of Ebdaa Training and Consulting Academy (IATC), highlighted the academy\u2019s journey, which began in 2015 with a mission to simplify science education for children. The academy initially focused on teaching visually impaired students using Braille, gradually evolving into a comprehensive educational hub.<\/p>\n

    Salah noted that Ebdaa now boasts 40 team members and has secured partnerships with key organizations, including the Ministry of Communications and the Arab Robotics Association. This has enabled the academy to deliver certified programs like IC Spark and IC3, broadening its impact on digital education.<\/p>\n

    Comprehensive Programs for Youth Empowerment<\/h3>\n

    Ebdaa\u2019s programs cater to children aged 4 to 18, focusing on coding, design, and robotics. Participants are also encouraged to compete in events like the FIRST LEGO League. Despite some challenges, with about 20% of children discontinuing due to personal or parental reasons, Salah reiterated the academy\u2019s commitment to preparing a skilled generation ready for market demands.<\/p>\n

    The academy also extends its training to middle and high school students, women seeking employment, and youth with intermediate qualifications. Courses range from basic computer skills to advanced programming, designed to enhance digital literacy and employability.<\/p>\n

    Driving Digital Transformation in Education<\/h3>\n

    Salah announced the academy\u2019s active role in national initiatives, such as the \u201cDigital Decent Life\u201d (Hayah Karima Raqamiyah) project in Alexandria. Additionally, Ebdaa collaborates with the Ministry of Communications on programs like \u201cDigital Egypt Brilliance\u201d and \u201cDigital Egypt Cubs,\u201d offering practical sessions led by expert trainers.<\/p>\n

    Ebdaa has also partnered with the Ministry of Scientific Research and private universities to expand its reach and influence. Plans are underway to establish a presence in the 6th of October City, further solidifying the academy\u2019s commitment to education and innovation.<\/p>\n

    Over the years, Ebdaa has trained more than 10,000 students and launched 80 specialized training programs, emphasizing the importance of coding and data analysis in modern education.<\/p>\n

    Expanding Through Digital Creativity Centers<\/h3>\n

    Mohamed Al Farran, startup projects consultant at Edafa, outlined a strategic partnership with Ebdaa to leverage Egypt\u2019s Digital Creativity Centers. Spread across 18 public universities, these centers aim to foster digital innovation and reach over 5 million secondary-level students.<\/p>\n

    \u201cThe Digital Creativity Centers offer a unique platform located within high-density universities, creating opportunities to train a large number of students,\u201d Al Farran explained. \u201cThis partnership reflects the state\u2019s vision to promote digital education and ensure graduates are equipped for evolving market demands.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Al Farran also highlighted the centers\u2019 cutting-edge facilities, blending theoretical and practical learning to provide a holistic educational experience. He emphasized the role of private academies, like Ebdaa, in bridging the gap between academic knowledge and hands-on skills.<\/p>\n
