Under the Patronage of H.E. Mohamed Hosni Mubarak, President of the Arab Republic of Egypt, the Ministry of Investment, the General Authority for Investment & Free Zones (GAFI) and Al-Iktissad Wal-Aamal Group are organizing the Second Cairo Investment Forum on 9 and 10 December 2007 at the Semiramis Intercontinental Hotel in Cairo.
Following up on the success of the first forum that brought together more than 1100 delegates from over 20 countries in December 2006, the Second Cairo Investment Forum will highlight the growing interest of the Arab and international business community in the process of change underway in the Egyptian economy, its strong growth, and the increasing number and range of investment opportunities. The forum is expected to attract an even larger attendance than in 2006 headed by the Prime Minister of Egypt, HE Dr. Ahmad Nazeef and government ministers and high-level officials from Egypt and the Arab world, in addition to banking, investment and business leaders in the region and internationally.
The Second Cairo Investment Forum convenes against the background of a massive increase in the flow of foreign direct investment into Egypt, expected to reach 10 billion dollars in 2007, along with continuing economic reform measures that aim at creating the most conducive investment environment and providing a full range of incentives and facilities for investors.
The Second Cairo Investment Forum will focus on the following topics:
- The Egyptian economy: recent performance and prospects.
- The reform agenda and privatization plans.
- The major challenges ahead: Job creation and social development.
- Development plans, projects and Investment opportunities in manufacturing industry, agriculture and agro-industries, the transport sector, the infrastructure and public utilities, tourism, communications and information technology, education and health services, housing, and other sectors.
The Second Cairo Investment Forum is an ideal opportunity to acquire an in-depth knowledge of the investment environment and investment opportunities in Egypt, and to network with decision makers from both the public and private sectors.
