But in the latest of Making It, we have an inside voice to give us the ins and outs. Karim Awad, CEO of EFG Hermes, began his career with the firm as an analyst, rising to become group CEO. Karim talked to us about 17-hour workdays, of always staying hungry for something bigger, and how he thinks of strategy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>*** Listen to the episode on:<\/strong> <a

RiseUp Summit concluded with its Pitch by the Pyramids event seeing 15 startups from across the MENA region compete for thousands of USD of investment, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wamda.com\/2019\/12\/pyramids-future-innovation-egypt\">Wamda\u2019s Triska Hamid<\/a> looks at the extent to which the growth of the summit reflects the development of Egypt\u2019s entrepreneurship sector as a whole. This year, RiseUp drew over 8k attendees from 56 countries and was populated by innovative startups that demonstrate an understanding of their local market, Hamid says. As a result, sectors including healthtech, edtech and fintech are starting to thrive, Egyptian talent has become sought after by startups around the world, and even the thorny issues of access to capital and creating a friendlier regulatory environment are being seriously addressed by accelerators and the government.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/auc\/\">AUC<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/entrepreneurship\/\">entrepreneurship<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/startups\/\">startups<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/worth-reading\/\">worth reading<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"591579\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"591579\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">7<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Diplomacy + Foreign Trade<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/12\/10\/egypt-sudan-ethiopias-ministers-outline-roadmap-for-next-round-of-gerd-talks\/\">\r\n                            Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia\u2019s ministers outline roadmap for next round of GERD talks                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/12\/10\/egypt-sudan-ethiopias-ministers-outline-roadmap-for-next-round-of-gerd-talks\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();
