Business Forward marked the end of 2020 with its third annual event- this time in a virtual edition sponsored by SMG Engineering Automotive Co.- bringing industry leaders and professionals together with the School’s network, in a compelling exchange of ideas, experiences, and stories, taking stock of a full year of economic activities and providing foresight for moving the economy forward. The theme of the event was ‘Enter 2021: Egypt’s coexistence with a global pandemic’ and we celebrated business resilience as we concluded the campaign ‘This is how I moved my #BusinessForward’ with the announcement of the four most voted for business stories.
How has Egypt’s economy fared this year in the face of a crushing global pandemic? And what could have been done better?
Watch Business Forward’s economy snapshot video produced in collaboration with D Code for Economic and Financial Consulting.
The Business Forward annual event saw a slew of economic and policy experts share their insights on the state of the world economy today and the way forward following the pandemic. Youssef Boutrous Ghaly, a renowned economic adviser and Egypt’s ex-minister of finance, shared valuable insights covering everything from policies needed to overcome the fallout of the pandemic, to how the world economy is going to look like in this economically bipolar world. Moderated by Heba Saleh, Cairo and North Africa correspondent for the Financial Times, and a member of Business Forward’s editorial board, we invite you to watch their full insightful discussion
Mohamed Youssef, chairman of D Code for Economic and Financial Consulting, Hala Barakat, director of the Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the AUC School of Business, and Winslow Sergeant, the incoming chair of the International Council for Small Business came together at Business Forward’s annual event to share their opinion on the trials and tribulations of Egypt’s sectors and businesses during the exceptional 2020.
In November 2020, Business Forward made a call for submissions from entrepreneurs and business leaders to tell us their stories of how they survived –and perhaps even thrived- through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Who were the four most voted for businesses in our “This is how I moved my #BusinessForward” campaign? How did these businesses fight through this tumultuous year?
Storytelling is the most powerful tool to communicate a concept. Because every business has a story, Business Forward launched the campaign: “This is how I moved my #BusinessForward”. This digital campaign is an invitation for business leaders to share their learnings and reflections after a year of navigating an unprecedented global pandemic. The most voted for entries will be celebrated in Business Forward’s annual event. Deadline for submitting the entry form: November 29, 2020
