With the aid of global partnerships and lessons learned from success stories in the region, the Egyptian real estate market is setting up for growth in 2023 and beyond. Gather and network with like-minded professionals from around the world exclusively at Cityscape Egypt Conference 2022 and seize the opportunity to attend the Powered by RIBA talks to discuss topics such as sustainability, disruptive technology, market trends and demands, zero waste construction, and so much more with industry experts.
Egypt: At the forefront of change
This year's conference theme is Egypt: At the forefront of change. With Egypt ready to host COP 27, the Cityscape Egypt Conference serves as a precursor to the sustainability conversations that will take place in the following months. The conference, which will feature key members of the sector from the MENA area, is expected to pave the way for discussions on governmental rules and policies, Egypt's green tech objectives with the hyperLoop, and design guidelines for greener buildings.

Dedicated to learning and networking, these talks are delivered by high-impact, thought-provoking speakers equipped with sustainability backgrounds and architectural knowledge, and expertise.
