The event is projected to attract more than 300 decision-makers, CEOs, investors, and representatives of international development institutions from over 45 countries. This gathering serves as an international platform for economic dialogue, expertise exchange, and cross-border partnerships.

Egypt as a Launchpad for Female Executives

She noted that the country has successfully cultivated a supportive environment for female entrepreneurship in recent years. Instead of merely discussing empowerment, Egypt has positioned itself as a launchpad for female economic leaders capable of influencing regional and global markets.
This upcoming edition holds additional weight as Egypt will host the FCEM World Committee meetings for the first time. El Sheridy pointed out that this milestone indicates high international confidence in the local ecosystem’s ability to create an attractive environment for investment and collaboration.
