7 LANDMARK EVENT The level of representation from business and politics will be unprecedented in the recent history of Egypt, so are the speed of changes that the government is making. NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES The conference has been deliberately structured to allow delegates to mingle freely and discuss substantive matters in a discreet setting; a significant networking opportunity. There will be special times set aside for one-to-one meetings with The President and his Ministers. BE THE FIRST TO KNOW The conference is a unique opportunity to hear first hand of the economic vision and sectoral plans that the government has prepared to drive investment and growth with strong private sector participation; with the ultimate objective of prosperity for the people of Egypt. FIRST MOVER ADVANTAGE Participants can get in on the ground floor in a country that is making sweeping changes and has massive investment opportunities, stemming from its sheer size and growth, its unique location and resources and under-investment over the past years. SUPPORT EGYPT FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL Last, but not least, it is important to support Egypt at this critical juncture and as it is working its way to the front. Egypt wants to regain its long standing position as a political, economic and cultural center of stability in the region
