KOICA, Beni Suef Technological University link graduating students with employers at job fair
The event, held for the university's 2025 graduates, aimed to link academic work with professional opportunities. It featured a Capstone Projects Exhibition with 26 innovative graduation projects that attracted interest from potential employers and investors, alongside a job fair designed for students to network with companies.
The event was attended by senior officials including KOICA Egypt Country Director Jinyoung Kim, Benisuef Governor Mohamed Ghoneim, and Korean Embassy Economic Counsellor Jehyun YANG. They were joined by the President of Beni Suef Technological University, Jean Henri, presidents of other technological universities, and leaders from the industrial community.
In his welcoming speech, Henri emphasised the importance of collaboration between academia and industry and thanked KOICA and industrial partners for their support. 'I invite our industrial partners to take advantage of this conference, speak with our talented students, and benefit from their skills and creativity,' he said.
Governor Ghoneim highlighted the event as a success of international cooperation. 'The relationship between the Arab Republic of Egypt and the Republic of Korea is one of the greatest examples of fruitful cooperation, resulting in significant educational and developmental projects, including Beni Suef Technological University,' he stated.
'Today, we witness the culmination of this constructive cooperation here in Beni Suef by providing real job opportunities for students and graduates, which is one of the most prominent forms of success in this international partnership that directly connects education with the labor market,' he continued.
KOICA Country Director Jinyoung Kim also addressed the attendees. 'It is an honour to extend my warm congratulations on the '2025 Capstone Exhibition and Job Fair of Beni-suef Technological University' today,' she said. 'What makes today especially inspiring is the vibrant energy I see in our students' contribution to this event through their projects built with remarkable knowledge and creative ideas. We aim to raise the standard of technical education at a high level further in Egypt and support young Egyptian talents in Upper Egypt to reach their professional goals.'
The event marks the latest development in a long-standing partnership. Since 2016, KOICA has collaborated with BTU to develop university-level technological education curricula, supported by a contribution of approximately $14m from the Korean government.
At the conclusion of the event, KOICA and BTU honoured their industrial partners and announced the winners of the graduation project competition. One project was selected as the winner from each of the four fields: Mechatronics, ICT, Autotronics, and Renewable Energy.
The event also included a presentation of certificates to students who had completed Korean language and computer science programmes, part of the World Friends Korea (WFK) Programme. Through the WFK initiative, volunteers have provided Korean language and computer science education to around 100 students.

Reports: Ademola Lookman Future Uncertain as Inter Delay New Bid
Rana Atef Inter Milan have yet to return with a new bid for Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman, despite weeks of negotiations and speculation surrounding the Nigerian international's future. According to reports from SportMediaset via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri have decided to step back from the deal as they shift their attention to strengthening other areas of the squad. Inter's interest in Lookman has dominated Serie A headlines this summer, with the saga turning into one of the most talked-about stories of the transfer window. The club had already submitted two offers—an initial €40 million bid, followed by an improved €45 million package including add-ons. Lookman, meanwhile, has made his stance clear. The 27-year-old has openly requested a transfer and has been absent from Atalanta training sessions since the start of August in an effort to push for the move. However, Inter's current priorities lie elsewhere. The Nerazzurri are understood to be focusing on signing a midfielder and a defender before considering whether to raise their bid for Lookman. For now, the pursuit of the Atalanta star remains on hold, leaving his future uncertain as the transfer window edges closer to its conclusion. read more Japan Stun Spain 2-1 to Qualify for World Cup Last 16 World Cup 2022: Get to Know Confirmed Line-ups of Japan and Spain Group E Decider Saudi Arabia Bid Farewell to World Cup after 2-1 Loss to Mexico Tunisia Achieve Historic Win over France but Fail to Qualify Tunisia to Clash against France in World Cup Sports Get to Know Squad of Group D Teams in World Cup Sports Al Ahly Gift EGP 70,000 to Players After Claiming Egyptian Super Cup Title Sports Bencharki Hits First 2 Goals with Al Jazira Since Leaving Zamalek Sports Arsenal Possible Line-up for Nottingham Forest Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated

LG Egypt launches a new phase of the 'Better Home' initiative in Fayoum to support improved housing environments
Under its global slogan 'Life's Good', and as part of its ongoing partnership with Misr El Kheir Foundation, LG Egypt has launched a new season of its flagship CSR campaign, 'Better Home', which aims to support the most deserving families, provide them with a decent and stable standard of living, and improve their housing conditions . In this phase, the initiative targets six of the most deserving families in villages across Fayoum Governorate, by providing six top-load washing machines and six smart TVs. These appliances form part of the company's contribution to creating a more comfortable and stable living environment for the beneficiary families, helping to improve their daily quality of life. This effort falls within Misr El Kheir Foundation's housing improvement program, which focuses on social and engineering interventions to upgrade homes in Egypt's most underserved villages—whether through renovation, reconstruction, or the provision of essential needs—according to approved procedural standards. This in-kind donation is part of LG's strategy to embody the true meaning of its slogan 'Life's Good'. The company continues to provide both financial and moral support to those most in need through its partnership with Misr El Kheir, thereby enhancing the efficiency of its initiatives and contributing to sustainable community development. Mohamed El Gedawy, Marketing and Public Relations Manager at LG Egypt, stated: 'LG is not only committed to offering advanced technological products, but also to being part of the fabric of Egyptian society. Through this new phase of the 'Better Home' initiative, we reaffirm our commitment to bringing our slogan 'Life's Good' to life by supporting families in underserved areas.' In the same context, Eng. Ahmed Youssef, Senior Director of the Direct Aid Program at Misr El Kheir Foundation, said: 'Misr El Kheir provides services to beneficiaries throughout the year via the Humanitarian Aid Department, in line with its vital role towards those in need across all governorates of Egypt. We are delighted with this cooperation with LG, which is not the first of its kind, as our partnership dates back years and has spanned many sectors. We look forward to its continuation .' Youssef further emphasized that this falls under the foundation's core strategy and mission, which always strives to nurture human development and dignity. LG Egypt confirmed that this initiative in Fayoum is just one step in a broader series of upcoming programs targeting multiple governorates, aiming to expand the impact of the 'Better Home' program and further reinforce its role in supporting sustainable development across Egypt.

Gold Holds Steady as Markets Await Trump–Zelenskiy Meeting and Rate-Cut Expectations
Waleed Farouk Gold prices remained stable in the Egyptian market during Monday's trading, in line with steady global spot prices, as investors awaited the outcome of the highly anticipated meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, and NATO leaders at the White House. In the local market, gold closed at EGP 4,540 per gram of 21-karat, unchanged from last week's close after trimming gains by around EGP 10. The price of 24-karat gold stood at EGP 5,189 per gram, 18-karat at EGP 3,891, and 14-karat at EGP 3,027, while a gold pound coin was priced at EGP 36,320. Globally, gold ended last week down 1.8% at $3,336 per ounce, pressured by accelerating U.S. wholesale inflation, which forced markets to reassess expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts. This week, traders are closely watching several key events, most notably the Trump–Zelenskiy meeting, which could shape the outlines of a potential peace deal with Russia in light of President Vladimir Putin's recent proposals. Also in focus is the Jackson Hole symposium, where Fed Chair Jerome Powell is expected to deliver a key speech on the outlook for monetary policy. While Fed officials remain divided—some advocating for multiple rate cuts this year, while others urge caution due to inflation uncertainty—major institutions have turned increasingly bullish on gold. Citigroup expects gold to reach $3,500 in the next three months, supported by geopolitical tensions, global economic concerns, and diversification away from dollar assets. Analysts at Goldman Sachs forecast that if the dollar continues to weaken, gold could hit $3,700 an ounce by the end of 2025. Recent Fed commentary has highlighted this policy split. Governor Michelle Bowman said weak labor market data reinforced her concerns and strengthened her view that three rate cuts this year are appropriate. By contrast, Jeffrey Schmid, President of the Kansas City Fed, argued that tariffs' limited impact on inflation justified keeping policy unchanged rather than cutting rates. Raphael Bostic, President of the Atlanta Fed, noted after a tour of the U.S. Southeast that tariff pressures are real, higher borrowing costs are squeezing corporate profits, and markets still anticipate two rate cuts this year. Meanwhile, gold's popularity as a jewelry metal has fallen sharply due to record-high prices, particularly in key markets like India and China, while its role as a capital-preservation and inflation-hedging asset continues to expand globally. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated
