About CTE

Creative Table Egypt (CTE) was founded by Passant Saied in 2025 with the vision of building a supportive ecosystem for women entrepreneurs in the creative industries. The community was established to bridge the gap between creativity and entrepreneurship by providing access to knowledge, opportunities, meaningful connections, and practical business support.

CTE’s vision is to become Egypt’s leading ecosystem empowering women entrepreneurs while contributing to the growth of the country’s creative economy. Its mission is to connect women creatives with knowledge, mentorship, visibility, collaborations, and business resources that enable sustainable growth. Today, the community includes more than 120 women working across fashion, jewelry, handicrafts, photography, art, design, cultural products, heritage brands, creative startups, and creative services.
