AmCham Egypt and U.S. Chamber of Commerce Host U.S.-Egypt Policy Leaders Forum
Cairo, Egypt – May 25-26, 2025
The American Chamber of Commerce in Egypt (AmCham Egypt), in collaboration with the United States Chamber of Commerce, the U.S.-Egypt Business Council, and the Egypt-U.S. Business Council, is proud to convene the U.S.-Egypt Policy Leaders Forum; a premier gathering focused on fostering economic collaboration and investment between the two nations.
Leading the high-profile U.S. business delegation is Suzanne Clark, President of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, joined by more than 55 senior executives from globally recognized American corporations across diverse industries. This visit underscores Corporate America’s unwavering commitment to Egypt’s long-term economic stability and prosperity, while exploring new business opportunities.
Egypt remains one of the most strategically positioned and diversified economies in the region, offering investment prospects in energy, technology, healthcare, tourism, and financial services. The country’s growing digital transformation and innovation-led industries provide exciting avenues for U.S.-Egyptian partnerships.
With over 1,000 U.S. firms operating in Egypt, the United States continues to be a major economic partner, ranking as Egypt’s second-largest source of foreign direct investment (FDI) in FY 2023/24, contributing $3 billion (5.3% of total FDI)—second only to the UAE. Additionally, Egypt holds its position as the fifth-largest regional trading partner to the U.S., with a total trade volume of $8.6 billion in 2024.
Despite regional geopolitical challenges, Egypt is implementing bold economic reforms aimed at fostering a more business-friendly environment. Over the past few years, the government has implemented far-reaching reforms aimed at creating a more competitive, transparent, and investor-friendly business environment. These reforms have encompassed critical areas, most significantly relate to investment reforms, tax incentives, financial sector modernization, infrastructure development, and improvements in trade facilitation.
Furthermore, Egypt has continued to invest heavily in infrastructure—expanding ports, roads, and logistics hubs—to streamline trade and commerce. The establishment of new industrial zones and free trade areas has further bolstered Egypt’s position as a regional gateway for international businesses. All of these measures have allowed for greater participation from the private sector and international investors.
Throughout the visit, delegates will meet President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, Prime Minister Dr. Mostafa Madbouli, and senior Egyptian officials, discussing strategies for boosting investment and overcoming market challenges.
AmCham Egypt, in partnership with its U.S. counterparts, is hosting several high-profile events, including Ministerial Panels featuring Prime Minister Dr. Mostafa Madbouli and key Cabinet members. Each event will bring together over 700 attendees, including government officials, diplomats, AmCham members, business leaders, academics, and media representatives, providing an unparalleled platform for networking and strategic discussions.
The U.S.-Egypt Policy Leaders Forum reaffirms the strength of this longstanding bilateral partnership, paving the way for greater investment, trade expansion, and economic cooperation between Egypt and the United States.
