3- Success Roadmap:

In early 2012, we started implementing the project idea at the AUC laboratories.
The (NanoFib-Tech) project won among more than 70 contestants in National Program for Specialized Technology Incubators Competition (Intilaq), ASRT, Egypt, 2015.
At the end of 2016 we concluded the prototype of NanoFib-Tech (disinfected fluids with nanofibers) and participated in the third Cairo Innovation Fair – Cairo Innovates (Cairo Innovates 2016)
NanoFib-Tech won the first place for the best startup.
The prize was awarded by the French Cultural Center at the French Embassy in Cairo, and it is a whole week to visit universities, research institutes and French investors.
In 2017, we started the first prototype of the product
During 2018-2019, we have a partnership with Farinas Marketing Services to study the market and find the opportunities and provide us with the business plan of NanoFib-Tech.
NanoFib-Tech is registered officially as (LLC) company in 2020.
