Narrative PR Summit has announced the launch of the ninth edition set to take place from April 7 to 9, 2025, in Red Sea. The Summit is led by the private sector but also will be held under the auspices of the Ministries of Planning, Economic development & International Cooperation, Investment and Youth and Sports.
It will showcase an esteemed roster of speakers, including high-ranking officials, industry experts, and leading business figures from Egypt and abroad.
This year, the summit will introduce a forward-thinking vision, centered around three pivotal themes: tourism, investment, and sports. Its goal is to shed light on Egypt's promising opportunities in these sectors, aiming to attract foreign investments and bolster the Egyptian economy.
The Narrative PR Summit is guided by a distinguished board of directors, comprising prominent Egyptian and international figures. This board was first established during the summit's eighth edition in 2023 and is chaired by the renowned businessman Sir Mohamed Mansour.
Joining him is an inspiring group of influential personalities, including Dr. Khaled El-Enany, former Minister of Tourism and Antiquities and candidate for Director-General of UNESCO; Sir Ben Elliot, founder of Quintessentially; Azza Fahmy, iconic jewelry designer; Yousra, global actress; Rawya Mansour, entrepreneur and founder of Ramsco; and Hala Hegazi, media leader and Managing Director of NRP (Nogoum & Nile FM).
Additionally, the board also includes Louis Barthélemy, artist, and Steve Shepperson-Smith, PR expert and Board member of the Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communication Management.
The board's goal is to transform Narrative PR Summit from a one-time annual event into a year-round, sustainable initiative that strengthens Egypt's global standing. It will focus on generating new investment opportunities, supporting the private sector, and fostering connections with international investors and partners through a strategic, well-structured action plan.
'This year, the summit will introduce the inaugural Storytellers Awards, presented by Narrative. The awards aim to celebrate young, innovative content creators—such as podcasters and influencers—who use social media platforms to portray a contemporary, positive image of Egypt through the eyes of youth,' Lamia Kamel, Founder of the Narrative PR Summit and the Managing Director of CC Plus, a full-fledged multi-disciplinary communications and PR firm, and the former Assistant Minister of Tourism and Antiquities for Promotion.
'The focus will be on content across key areas, including tourism, sports, and economic development, all of which contribute to fostering innovation and supporting the Egyptian economy,' she added.
Lamia pointed out that further details on the competition and application process will be revealed soon.
The Narrative PR Summit seeks to establish itself as a sustainable initiative that strengthens collaboration between the government and the private sector. By highlighting Egypt's potential in key areas such as its workforce, investment opportunities, and purchasing power, the summit aims to position Egypt as a more competitive force on the global stage.

India's Modi says he's received invitation for G7 summit in Canada

India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he looked forward to meeting his Canadian counterpart Mark Carney during the Group of Seven summit, after the latter invited him to the gathering over a phone call on Friday. India is not a part of the grouping but can be invited as a guest to its annual gathering, which will be held this year in Kananaskis in the Canadian province of Alberta, from June 15-17. "Glad to receive a call from Prime Minister (Carney)...thanked him for the invitation to the G7 Summit in Kananaskis later this forward to our meeting at the Summit," Modi said in a post on X. The invitation suggests that both sides want to rebuild ties, which have nosedived in the last two years after Canada accused India of involvement undefined in a Sikh separatist leader's murder, and of attempting to interfere in the country's 2019 and 2021 elections. New Delhi denied both allegations. Modi also stated in his post that India and Canada would work together "with renewed vigour, guided by mutual respect and shared interests". India is Canada's 10th largest trading partner and Canada is the biggest exporter of pulses, including lentils, to India. Ottawa holds the rotational G7 presidency this year.

Egypt Launches Standardised Reporting Framework for Startups and Investors

Egypt's Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Development Agency (MSMEDA), backed by World Bank, has collaborated with several venture capital firms and the US-based platform to introduce a standardised portfolio reporting framework for startups and investors across the country. Led by Foundation Ventures, the initiative includes participation from Algebra Ventures, Sawari Ventures, Shorooq Partners, Endure Capital, Camel Ventures, DenVC, LoftyInc Capital, DisrupTech Ventures, and the Climate Resilient Africa Fund. The aim is to establish common metrics, reporting timelines, and formats, addressing the longstanding issue of inconsistent data practices within Egypt's startup ecosystem. Although Egypt's startup scene has expanded significantly in recent years, inconsistent reporting standards remain a key challenge. Startups frequently contend with producing varied reports to meet different investor requirements, while venture capital firms face difficulties in assessing portfolio performance due to the absence of unified benchmarks. The initiative seeks to simplify reporting processes for both general partners (GPs) and portfolio companies through a centralised data platform designed to enhance transparency, reliability, and operational efficiency. 'We are excited about enhancing Egypt's investment attractiveness by providing the necessary transparency to encourage foreign direct investment,' said Mazen Nadim, Managing Partner at Foundation Ventures. Following a competitive selection process, was chosen to develop and operate the platform. The company is working in partnership with Egyptian GPs to tailor the system to local requirements and workflows. The platform is expected to be fully implemented by the end of the second quarter of 2025, with the first comprehensive ecosystem report anticipated by mid-2026. By introducing a unified reporting framework, the effort is expected to ease administrative burdens for startups, provide greater clarity for investors, and strengthen Egypt's position as a destination for regional and international venture capital.
