New investors showing interest in the Egyptian market will be attending the forum along with their already-established peers.

The forum aims at discussing different stages of the investment climate development and reform, while shedding light on large scale development projects, job opportunities they entail, and how well the local private sector and foreign investments have responded to the government’s efforts till present and the prospects of Arab and foreign investment in Egypt.
