The world is facing unprecedented pressures from the global pandemic, geopolitical conflict and the ongoing pressure of climate change, all of which continue to blight global supply chains and increase price pressures. This important discourse on the private sector’s level of engagement both with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Egypt Vision 2030 must be balanced and assessed to ensure that the private sector maximises its full potential as an agent of change and galvanises action for development and investment to reflect the reality of a changing world.
The roundtable session aims to redefine the role and value of the private sector in both the development and FDI agenda and empower private sector stakeholders to prioritise trade and investment to bolster beleaguered supply chains amid the pandemic and geopolitical challenges and also be mindful of SDGs, take bolder actions and catalyse the participation of others.
