Chairman’s Message

For over years, I have participated in the global debate over development and globalization. For too long the conversation has lacked a voice that articulates and defends the role played by free trade, economic growth, private property, technology and entrepreneurship in alleviating poverty. We founded Canada Egypt Business Council and the Egyptian Business Council For International Cooperation to address that void.

Canada Egypt Business Council and the Egyptian Business Council For International Cooperation are non-governmental organizations aiming to foster the development of relations between Egypt and the world, to support our members in their pursuit of opportunities for international relations and to offer a unique set of business upgrading services to Egyptian enterprises.

Due to the success achieved by the Canada Egypt Business Council in contributing towards enhancing the bilateral trade relations between Egypt and Canada. We were able to achieve our goals effectively; this led to being approached by several entities, organizations and embassies of some countries suggesting cooperation in similar formats where mutual business strategies may offer maximum returns to the sharing parties; then we announced the launch of the Egyptian Business Council For International Cooperation ECIC, through which we can cooperate with all countries, especially those which do not have joint business councils with Egypt. We believe the challenges of the current stage make it imperative for us to find creative solutions to help develop the economy and to get the wheel of production turning and it is indeed the time we draw our own roadmap to the future, a parallel economic roadmap to the markets of the future.

CEBC and ECIC are proud to be a collaborative behind-the-scenes partner in this movement, helping our members all over Egypt and the world find new ways — big and small — to achieve their business goals, deliver on customer expectations and at the same time, reduce their reliance on the world’s limited natural resources. It is our job to act as a primary resource and facilitator on behalf of the business communities, helping them to understand one another, communicate openly between Egypt and the world to achieve the right access and support successful business together.

CEBC and ECIC aim at opening nontraditional markets before the Egyptian products through organizing promotional missions, holding meetings and events to revitalize investments, hence support Egyptian exports and raise growth rates. It also helps its members discover and penetrate these promising markets. We are expecting the council’s activities to be a catalyst for transformation in international trade and investment relations with Egypt.

And as some say “it is not important to just create opportunities, what is important is how you make use of them”.

I believe the idea is now created, and challenges will compel us to make the utmost use of it.

Thank you for joining us.
