Overseas Trade Delegation to Cairo & the Suez Canal Economic Zone
Saturday 11 - Wednesday 15 February 2017
UK companies are invited to join a business delegation
to Cairo and the Suez Canal Economic Zone, organised
by the Egyptian-British Chamber of Commerce - in
partnership with the British-Egyptian Business
Association, Egyptian British Business Council and
Department for International Trade (DIT).
The UK is the largest foreign investor in Egypt, and trade
between the two countries reached £1.7bn in 2015. Its
large consumer market (90 million), strategic location
and free trade agreements with the EU, Africa and the
Arab Region make it an ideal business hub.
Our three-day programme offers B2B events in Cairo as
well as a visit to two mega infrastructure projects; the
Capital Cairo and the Suez Canal Economic Zone
(programme on page 2).
The programme promotes trade and investment
opportunities for UK companies in sectors such as
infrastructure & construction, smart cities, financial
services, ICT development, agribusiness and renewable
energy.
