- free tier: USD 10,000 of AWS credit within a one-year incubation: "AWS Services with $10,000 credit on AWS" (the Cloud Services row of the host package) and "The lifespan of TIEC incubation is a year." | unit: credits | metered on: wall-clock | read on: 2026-10-30 | source: [1] | note: incubation-with-credit

- identity: email
- interface: unknown
- limits:
  - write-gated (binding): Selection needs a working ICT prototype or proof of concept rather than an idea, applicants pitch to a judging panel, and delivery is in person at a TIEC office in Egypt, so the binding cost is presence plus a built artefact, not a company document. [1]
- limits note: Selection needs a working ICT prototype or proof of concept rather than an idea, applicants pitch to a judging panel, and delivery is in person at a TIEC office in Egypt, so the binding cost is presence plus a built artefact, not a company document.
- binding note: the same as limits note
- interface detail: not published: the page names an online application form (login required) and no REST API, CLI, SSH or SDK; the credit is held in an AWS account
- tooling: not stated
- composes with: This is the best composition found in the Africa and MENA slice: USD 10,000 of AWS credits arrives with no equity and no cash cost, so it stacks cleanly on top of AWS's own always-free tier and any AWS Activate credit, and the twelve-month incubation is long enough for a credit balance to be spent rather than expire against it.
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- notes: Whether a company is required is unresolved: no page read names an incorporation document, and the published exclusion is only that undergraduates cannot apply. The round is open for an October 2026 intake according to a third-party tracker at a 31 October 2026 deadline, while ITIDA's own incubation page states no deadline, and two other pages carry different dates, one closing 1 August 2026 and one describing a 2027 cohort beginning 1 January 2027. The date discrepancy is the finding to carry forward: the rounds are frequent enough that a reader should check ITIDA's own press releases rather than any aggregator.
