Good morning, friends, and welcome to the final edition of this year’s EnterpriseAM Forum Playback, where we bring you highlights from our successful Enterprise Egypt Forum 2025, held on 7 October.

In today’s issue, we revisit our on-stage conversation on how Egypt’s private sector is planning through uncertainty, with HSBC Egypt CEO Todd Wilcox, Algebra Ventures’ General Partner Laila Hassan, and Arkan Palm Director Ahmed Badreldin breaking down what 2026 really looks like for businesses, how companies are budgeting around it, and where the next up-cycle may begin. We also look at how shifts in costs, talent retention, and the return on long-term investors are shaping strategy for the years ahead. We also bring you our interview on the sidelines of the forum with Sawari Ventures’ Ibrahim Ramadan who told us why he sees 2026 shaping up to be a standout year for Egypt’s startups.
