Entrepreneurship and innovation have emerged globally as
significant drivers for inclusive economic growth, contributing to
both job and wealth creation. Especially since Egypt's 2011
revolution, the need has become pressing for novel models that
capitalize on the country's human resources. Half of the Egyptian
population is less than 25 years old and almost one quarter is
between 18 and 29 years old. More than any other time, an
entrepreneurial spirit and innovative mindset need to be fostered
and encouraged to best rebuild the country's economy on solid and
sustainable foundations.This important book sheds new light on the
promise of entrepreneurship and innovation in restructuring Egypt,
and their potential for promoting economic development. It probes
the relationship between innovation and economic growth, providing
linkages between academic research and applied/industry needs. It
also looks at how creativity and innovation can be embedded in the
educational system, the challenges facing the entrepreneurial
ecosystem, and considers ways to enhance social
entrepreneurship.Covering a lot of ground, the authors propose
answers and solutions, as well as laying the groundwork for further
research and deliberations-in this field in general and in Egypt,
at this juncture of the country's development, in particular.
"This book is an important contribution to recovering a nuanced,
contextually aware view of access to knowledge and global knowledge
governance" Yochaie Benkler, Harvard Law School "This is a 'must
read' for scholars and practioners interested in economic
devlopment, cultural production and access to knowledge" Susan
Sell, George Washington University This volume features five
chapters on current issues facing intellectual property, innovation
and development policy from the Egyptian perspective. These
include: information and communications technology for development,
copyright and comparative business models in music, open source
software, patent reform and access to medicines, and the role of
the Egyptian government in promoting access to knowledge
internationally and domestically. Together these chapters offer an
overview of the challenges and opportunities facing efforts to
promote access to knowledge. Combining both theoretical and
empirical approaches, the work will be of interest to scholars and
practitioners dealing with intellectual property and innovation
property the world over.
