Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly chaired a meeting on Thursday to review the final preparations for the event, which is expected to bring together senior executives from leading global companies and representatives of Egyptian businesses.
The meeting was attended by Minister of Electricity and Renewable Energy Mahmoud Esmat, Minister of Finance Ahmed Kouchouk, Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation and Egyptian Expatriates Badr Abdelatty, and Minister of Investment and Foreign Trade Mohamed Farid, alongside senior government and Central Bank of Egypt officials.
Madbouly emphasized the importance of the upcoming event as a platform to highlight Egypt’s investment potential, particularly the incentives and facilitation measures introduced to attract investment across various sectors.
He also stressed the government's efforts to maximize the economic benefits of the substantial investments made in developing and upgrading the country's infrastructure.
The prime minister noted that hosting the meeting in Cairo follows President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi’s participation in the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in January 2026. The event aims to present Egypt's economic outlook, highlight available investment opportunities and reinforce the country's position as a regional hub for trade, logistics and energy.
Madbouly reaffirmed the government's commitment to expanding private sector participation in economic activities, noting that the involvement of major international companies would provide an opportunity to explore potential investments and strengthen cooperation with Egyptian businesses.
During the meeting, Abdelatty reviewed the final organizational arrangements, confirming that more than 70 high-level representatives from leading international companies operating across various industries are expected to participate.
He explained that the event will feature discussions, interactive sessions and meetings focused on Egypt's economic prospects and investment opportunities across several sectors.
Egyptian companies will also participate in the discussions, creating opportunities to establish new partnerships, strengthen business connections and explore potential areas of cooperation with international investors.
Abdelatty said hosting the meeting in cooperation with the World Economic Forum reflects confidence in the Egyptian economy and its ability to navigate regional and global challenges while continuing to offer attractive investment opportunities.
The foreign minister also reviewed the outcomes of preparatory meetings held by the organizing committee and the coordination efforts undertaken with the WEF to ensure the event achieves its objectives.
The upcoming meeting forms part of Egypt's broader strategy to strengthen engagement with international investors, encourage private sector-led growth and capitalize on its infrastructure investments to support economic development.
