Cairo – Career 180, a leading EdTech platform in the Middle East and North Africa(MENA), has announced the organization of the 9th edition of the Egypt Career Summit, taking place on April 3–4 at the British University in Egypt (BUE).

In this context, Shrouk Alaa Eldin, Co-founder and CEO of Career 180, stated: "Our vision for the ninth edition of the summit goes beyond the traditional concept of connecting job seekers with employers. We aim to build a comprehensive ecosystem that supports the development of young professionals’ career skills. Through Egypt Career Summit, we seek to create a platform that brings together industry leaders and real-world expertise to help youth better understand the evolving requirements of the job market. We are equally committed to empowering them with future-ready skills that strengthen their prospects both locally and internationally. Following our successful expansion into Europe and the Gulf region, we have gained even greater confidence in the ability of Egyptian talent to compete globally. This drives our continued investment in developing youth capabilities and preparing them to lead emerging sectors such as artificial intelligence and digital innovation. We firmly believe that empowering young people is a fundamental step toward building a knowledge-driven and innovation-led economy.

The summit will host a distinguished group of experts and speakers participating in panel discussions and specialized workshops, including Marwa Abbas (General Manager of IBM Egypt), Moheb Halem (Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Huawei Egypt), Ayman El-Gohary (Chairman of GSS), and Omnia Kelig (Deputy CEO and Chief Investment Officer – NAEEM Holding).
