The story
Cairo Designathon in Cairo
Cairo Designathon bills itself as Egypt's first collaborative design marathon, using design-thinking methodology to work through social-impact challenges in structured, hackathon-style sessions rather than static exhibitions. Its DeForum panel series, co-created with the Cairo Design Award, has grown into a recurring talks program often staged alongside the wider Cairo Design Week.
Cairo Designathon describes itself as Egypt's first collaborative design marathon, built around design-thinking methodology and framed specifically around design's capacity to generate social impact rather than purely commercial or aesthetic outcomes.
