It gives me great pleasure to announce the launch of “The Africa Egypt Business Forum 2014” to be held

 

at The Village Convention Center located in Smart Village Egypt Km 28, Cairo Alex Desert Rd – Building

 

69, on the 23rd and 24th of June 2014.

 

 

As Egypt embarks on a new era of economic, social and political rebuilding, expectations for a better

 

future are ever increasing. Economic recovery and sustainable growth are the goals of all Egyptians and

 

the main challenges faced by in the incoming administration. For Egypt to truly flourish, it has to seek

 

growth in Africa.

 

 

Africa is the world’s fastest continent, not only in economic growth but also in population growth, with

 

Africa expected to reach over 2.6 billion people by 2050. Yet while the population continues to grow so do

 

the numbers of those in Africa living under the poverty line, living with no access to transport, clean water

 

 

As one of the largest countries and economies in Africa, Egypt must play a more active role in

 

the development of Africa. Egypt must utilize its key geographic location and proximity to some of

 

the world’s largest markets to capitalize on the growth of African economies.

 

 

“The Africa Egypt Business Forum 2014” will openly discuss the role of Egypt in Africa’s future economic

 

growth. The Forum will bring together leaders in Afro-Egyptian policy formulation, leaders from the private

 

sector, academics, diplomats and government officials from across the region to share their thoughts,

 

recommendations, strategies and advice on the future of Afro-Egyptian economic development.
