Also present were Gianfranco Sanseverino, Deputy CEO of Modefinance International, and Mattia Ciprian and Valentino Pediroda, Co-CEOs of Modefinance.

This collaboration reflects our commitment to driving financial inclusion and empowering micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises with reliable, data-driven tools that enhance their access to finance. By combining iscore deep local market expertise with Modefinance advanced technology, MSMEs & credit risk rating strong proficiency along with management solutions, we are laying the groundwork for a more transparent, efficient, and inclusive credit ecosystem—one that supports Egypt national vision for sustainable economic growth.”

Giacomini, Modefinance International CEO, commented: “The partnership with iscore further consolidates Modefinance International’s role in Egypt, the North African region, and the entire GCC area, where we established a solid expertise. The Egyptian market is a particularly strategic business area as it is characterized by a widespread presence of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises.

The core focus of the collaboration is the implementation of a newly developed MSME grading system, powered by Tigran, Modefinance’s proprietary credit risk assessment tool.

The strategic partnership aims to foster a sustainable and inclusive financial ecosystem by reinforcing iscore’s role as a key supporter for credit decision-making for MSMEs. This aligns with Egypt’s national priorities to strengthen the SME sector, which accounted for 98% of the private sector, employed over 47 million people, and contributed approximately 43% to the national GDP in FY2023–2024. Additionally, the agreement will support the introduction of data-driven credit rating tools that are flexible and suited to local market dynamics, helping to expand financing opportunities and enable better decision-making for financial institutions.

This collaboration reflects iscore’s ongoing commitment to advancing its strategy of developing modern and effective credit assessment tools to mitigate risk within the MSME sector, which plays a critical role in Egypt’s economy. The partnership is viewed as a significant step forward in unlocking opportunities for growth, supporting economic development, and enabling smarter credit decisions across the SME landscape.
