The highly anticipated closing event of the third edition of the digital campaign #IMovedMyBusinessForward is just around the corner! It's been an incredible journey, but the excitement is far from over. Join us as we wrap up this amazing campaign with a bang and acknowledge all the hard work and dedication.

Family businesses of all sizes were invited to share their insights and experiences on facing typical challenges to ensure a sustainable business across generations. Owners and leaders from companies such as Al Araby Group, Nahdet Misr Group, Monginis Food, Pharco and several others shared their trials and errors and their strategies for juggling business development with a smooth inter-generational transition.

Awards will be handed out by a jury of specialists and subject matter experts who will assess and select the stories demonstrating best practices while the audience will vote on the most inspiring family business stories.
