Award for women founders of IT startups
An inDrive project
If you have any questions, feel free to email us at aurora@auroratechaward.com
For the 2025 Aurora Tech Award, 2,018 founders from 116 countries stepped up. After a rigorous selection process with our VC partners, we’ve identified the top 10 — our finalists. That’s less than 0.5% of all applicants.
These women don’t just dream big; they build bigger. From agrotech to fintech, they aren’t just shaping industries — they’re shaping the future
On April 12th, they’ll take the stage in Cairo, Egypt, to pitch live. By the end of the night, we’ll be celebrating the winners.
This isn’t just recognition — it’s a launchpad. Backed by inDrive, we’re giving them the capital, credibility, and connections to scale
