BUSINESS INCUBATION AS ELEMENT OF BUSINESS SERVICE INSTITUTION AND SME DEVEL...Vasily Ryzhonkov
The core of the political and economic transformation of any country in transition (CIT) is
the creation of the private sector, the development of entrepreneurship and creation of small and
medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). They are consideredto be one of the principal driving forces in
economic development. SMEs stimulate private ownership and entrepreneurial skills, they are
flexible and can adapt quickly to changing market demand and supply situations, they generate
employment, help diversify economic activity and make a significant contribution to exports and
trade. SMEs also play an important role in innovation and the high-tech business, due to their
flexibility and creativity many of them became large businesses. In this process emphasis should be
laid on creation of a business friendly environment in which the transformation of the society
towards a market economy should be taken place

What price will pi network be listed on exchangesDOT TECH
The rate at which pi will be listed is practically unknown. But due to speculations surrounding it the predicted rate is tends to be from 30$ — 50$.
So if you are interested in selling your pi network coins at a high rate tho. Or you can't wait till the mainnet launch in 2026. You can easily trade your pi coins with a merchant.
A merchant is someone who buys pi coins from miners and resell them to Investors looking forward to hold massive quantities till mainnet launch.
I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi vendor to trade with.

how to swap pi coins to foreign currency withdrawable.DOT TECH
As of my last update, Pi is still in the testing phase and is not tradable on any exchanges.
However, Pi Network has announced plans to launch its Testnet and Mainnet in the future, which may include listing Pi on exchanges.
The current method for selling pi coins involves exchanging them with a pi vendor who purchases pi coins for investment reasons.
If you want to sell your pi coins, reach out to a pi vendor and sell them to anyone looking to sell pi coins from any country around the globe.
Below is the contact information for my personal pi vendor.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

Even tho Pi network is not listed on any exchange yet.
Buying/Selling or investing in pi network coins is highly possible through the help of vendors. You can buy from vendors[ buy directly from the pi network miners and resell it]. I will leave the telegram contact of my personal vendor.
@Pi_vendor_247
when will pi network coin be available on crypto exchange.DOT TECH
There is no set date for when Pi coins will enter the market.
However, the developers are working hard to get them released as soon as possible.
Once they are available, users will be able to exchange other cryptocurrencies for Pi coins on designated exchanges.
But for now the only way to sell your pi coins is through verified pi vendor.
Here is the telegram contact of my personal pi vendor
@Pi_vendor_247
how to sell pi coins in South Korea profitably.DOT TECH
Yes. You can sell your pi network coins in South Korea or any other country, by finding a verified pi merchant
What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.
Since there is no pre-sale, the only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners. So a pi merchant facilitates these transactions by acting as a bridge for both transactions.
How can i find a pi vendor/merchant?
Well for those who haven't traded with a pi merchant or who don't already have one. I will leave the telegram id of my personal pi merchant who i trade pi with.

11
MoU has been signed between “Bedaya 1” investment Fund and the Academy for
Scientific Research & Technology ASRT to:
1. Cooperate in supporting innovative and technology-based entrepreneurs and SMEs
2. Establish an intermediary corporation similar to the Malaysian model “MTDC”, which
provides funds, mentoring and incubation; in addition to other value added services for
technological and scientific research in order to travel to the market
The Company’s objectives revolve around:
• Facilitating patency and IPR registrations for scientific & technological researches,
• Guiding entrepreneurs through all the technical support and consultations required
for their businesses
• Selecting the best qualified entrepreneurs to run and manage new ventures based
on the transformation of scientific researches into market applicable products and
services
• Facilitating licensing of universities techno-researches through various means such
as alliances, joint ventures or through new ventures
13. 13
Challenges
Ecosystem Challenges:
• No unified definition for SMEs in Egypt
• Lack of a champion responsible for SMEs
• Lack of information on number of SMEs and their contribution to GDP
• Weakness of the legislative environment especially the bankruptcy law
SMEs Challenges
• Access to equipped, feasible priced lands
• Licensing (no central mechanism, high cost for hiring legal representative)
• Weak competitive advantage in front of larger businesses
• Access to Finance
• Access to BDS (on both levels, the supply and the demand)
14. 14
Challenges
Bedaya Centre Challenges
• Sustainability of the provided BDS (mainly depending on volunteers consultants)
• Entrepreneurship support efforts are scattered and not embedded officially in the national
economic agenda
Commercializing R&D Challenges
• Complete separation between academia and industry (an innovation study on Egypt has
shown that less than 6% of companies go to universities when they face problems)
• Earning the trust of researchers is a challenge, as they may not believe in the possibility
of real commercialization and may be skeptical in working with business.
• Academia is not oriented towards commercialization, as commercialization does not go in
the promotion process along with publication. Therefore, its not applicable to have applied
research and clear IP strategy
• Financing early start-ups is very challenging
• No formal networking between the academia and the private sector; also between
entrepreneurs and potential investors (no mechanism of finding the right match)
• Lack of ability to assess the feasibility of the idea traveling to market
15. 15
Policy Priorities
General Policies
• National Strategy for the development of SMEs and Entrepreneurship that would
advocate Bedaya Centre as the champion in this concern
• Creating the link between BDS and access to finance in a structured mechanism
• Drafting a law for SMEs with a set of incentives, which some efforts are currently
underway.
Commercializing R&D Policies
• Government to interfere in early financing for entrepreneurs, especially that private sector
is skeptic in this phase
• Develop an incentive scheme for companies spending on R&D
• R&D financing policy, with an eye on commercialization
• IP policies and its enforceability
• Establish and properly structure university incubators where R&D could be
commercialized
Mentorship Program Currently developing a new model for mentorship, through recruiting a network of mentors from the business community and selecting committed entrepreneurs or start-ups projects. The program aims to: Facilitate the relationship and business linkages between mentors and mentees. Ensure the collaboration between mentors and mentees to satisfy the need for more market-focused entrepreneurs
Definition: Any economic activity that is neither taxed nor monitored by the government or included in the calculation of the GDP. Key drivers for growth: Avoiding government control and bureaucracy Tax Evasion. Using government utilities at a lower rates compared to commercial/industrial rates Easier access and exit from the market. No quality, environmental, health, patents, copy rights and other forms of control Working in residential areas proximate to their respective markets Challenges facing informal economic units: Different forms corruption and lack of transparency Fines continuously levied due to lack of proper licensing Unable to export or access big markets such as government procurements and multinational corporations Difficulty to attract skilled labor who would prefer formal sector with proper social insurance Lack of access to finance through financial institutions
Government stakeholders Cairo and Qalyoubeya governorates Industrial Development Authority Environmental Affairs Agency Tax Authority Spirit of Youth Association and a Group of workshops specialized mainly in paper and plastic recycling Capacity Building: Providing financial and non-financial consultancy services to assist them in obtaining required financing.
