Innovation Has a New Destination
The Entrepreneurship Center at the Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport (AASTMT) is proud to announce the upcoming Rally Startup Festival 2026, taking place on September 30, 2026, at Al Burouj Arena, El Shorouk, Cairo.
This year, Rally introduces a completely new concept: Rally Startup Festival City—a dynamic ecosystem designed as a city that entrepreneurs, founders, innovators, creators, investors, and ecosystem leaders can explore, experience, and connect through.
One City. Six Districts. Endless Opportunities.
Rally Startup Festival City brings the entrepreneurial ecosystem to life through six dedicated districts, each offering a unique experience, valuable connections, and opportunities designed to help participants take their next step.
From discovering new ideas and building connections to accessing knowledge, meeting potential partners, and exploring opportunities for growth, every district represents another step in the entrepreneurial journey.
Your journey through the city is designed to take you closer to your next opportunity—and closer to turning your ideas into reality.

To make the experience interactive, every participant will receive a Rally Passport that will guide them throughout the festival.
