Cairo, EgyptTuesday, 7 October 2025
REQUEST AN INVITATIONWe're taking a broad view on the business opportunities heading into the final years of this decade — things that are shaping what it means to lead and build businesses in the second half of this decade.
The rise of AI and what it means for talent and growth
Geopolitical turmoil (regionally and globally)
A new generation of born-in-Egypt multinationals
The fourth wave of brain-drain in 20 years
We're going to maintain a laser-like focus this year on actionable insights — on what's working now, and what we think will work tomorrow. The goal is to make sure all of our guests leave with at least a couple of ideas that they can put to work in their businesses right away — from finance to leadership, technology to new market entry.
● We'll be joined on stage by a senior leader from business or government to set the tone for the day.
● What's really working for exporters now? Strategies that are delivering success in the Gulf, Europe, Africa, and beyond — lessons from manufacturing, services, and more.
● Gaze into the crystal ball of real estate and infrastructure leaders for actionable insights into how and where we will live, work, manufacture, commute, move goods, and vacation in 2035.
● While Egypt's macroeconomic narrative in 2025 is focused on stabilization, the outlook into 2026 is cautiously optimistic. We sit down with leading financial advisors to walk us through their recipe for bringing capital markets back to life.
● From Ras El Hekma to food security, manufacturing and global capabilities centers, Egypt and the UAE are partners in an exciting bid to reshape the face of the regional economy. It’s a vision that merges UAE capital and execution capacity with Egypt's natural and human resources and a shared ambition to build something amazing. We'll be joined on stage by two senior government officials — one from the UAE, one from Egypt — to discuss what you can expect in 2025 and beyond.
● How are you really using AI? CEOs from three different industries talk about how they’re using AI personally — and in their businesses.
● How top execs are making decisions, picking their leadership teams (and their successors), setting strategy, and structuring their organizations as they look to future-proof their businesses.
