The World Economic Forum (WEF) will organise a two-day Country Strategy Meeting in Egypt’s New Administrative Capital on November 16-17, 2026, bringing together President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, senior government officials and leading global business executives. Organised in collaboration with the Egyptian government, the meeting will focus on Egypt’s economic outlook, investment opportunities and modernisation programme. Discussions will cover trade, logistics, energy, infrastructure and private-sector-led growth, highlighting Egypt’s strategic position connecting Africa, the Middle East and the Mediterranean. WEF President and CEO Alois Zwinggi said Egypt had significant economic potential due to its large domestic market, young population and growing industrial base. Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty highlighted that Egypt’s GDP grew 5.3% in the first half of the 2025-26 financial year. The meeting will also explore renewable energy, sustainable infrastructure, investment reforms and opportunities to strengthen Egypt’s global economic partnerships.
