A dedicated MSME support programme for Egypt's creative economy — helping artisans, craftspeople, and micro-enterprises in fashion, textiles, leather, jewellery, furniture, and woodwork grow into sustainable businesses.
Craft Makers is icealex's programme for Egypt's creative economy sector — supporting micro and small enterprises (MSMEs) working in traditional and contemporary crafts to build market-ready, sustainable businesses.
Evolved from the earlier Craft Pioneers programme — which supported 110+ MSMEs — Craft Makers deepens its focus on six core sectors: fashion & textiles, leather goods, jewellery, furniture, woodwork, and mixed crafts.
The programme combines business skills training, design thinking, market access support, and connections to retail, export, and e-commerce channels — giving craftspeople the tools to turn their craft into a thriving enterprise.
