Demystifying two of the biggest opportun...

Enterprise
About this episode

Egypt brought home major victories from COP27. We signed framework agreements for about USD 85 bn worth of green hydrogen projects. We also announced more than USD 10 bn in funding for the Nexus for Food, Water and Energy, or NWFE — a USD 15 bn program for Egypt. While we have a long way to go before much of the wins from COP27 will be tangible to the private sector, the opportunities in green hydrogen and NWFE are “now.” Our panelists helped explain how these two can be made actionable. 

Participants:

Jorgo Chatzimarkakis (Linkedin), CEO, Hydrogen Europe

Khalid Hamza (Linkedin),  Director and head of Egypt, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.

Khaled Naguib, CEO, Hydrogen Egypt

Interviewed by: Patrick FitzPatrick, Editor-in-Chief, Enterprise. Moustafa Bassiouny, Partner, The Enterprise Company
