DNS Entrepreneurship Center

DNS Entrepreneurship Center

Telecom / Mobile

Establishing the DNS Entrepreneurship Centre (DNS-EC) was identified as a milestone towards achieving one of ICANN’s strategic goals in Africa and the Middle East. It is a partnership between ICANN and Egypt’s National Telecommunication Regulatory Authority (NTRA). It aims to contribute to the evolution of the domain name sector in Africa and the Middle East. Building upon the experience and lessons of the growing number of registrars in the region, and of new gTLD registries, the DNS Entrepreneurship Center will become the hub and incubator for the next generation of DNS entrepreneurs. The project is implemented over three years (2014-2017).
