Enterprise
About this episode

The Enterprise Podcast now brings you recordings of our on-stage and live panels that took place at the Enterprise Exports and FDI Forum.

Panel 6: Industrial clusters: A natural accelerant for both exports and SME development

We look at whether industrial clusters — which have been used to great effect elsewhere —  can be a way for SMEs to be part of a potential export-oriented economy. Our speakers shed light on where industrial zones are working for us already, how Egypt can leverage clusters to get a bigger slice of that cross-border trade, and how industrial clusters can bring together SMEs to work with larger firms.

Participants:

Shady Williams (LinkedIn), Managing Director, IDG

Mohamed ElGebely (LinkedIn), Team Leader, USAID Trade

Nada El Ahwal (LinkedIn), CSO, Transmar.

Interviewed by: Katie McMahon, Managing Editor, Enterprise, and Hisham Abdien, Executive Editor, Enterprise.
