World Youth Forum turns many ideas into projects: Hussein Fahmi

CAIRO - 17 March 2019: Hussein Fahmi, business administration consultant in Vienna, said that the World Youth Forum succeeded in turning many ideas into projects, stressing that a real partnership is a must for the success of any merging company.

The WYF is the platform through which young people can share their ideas and receive support for their projects, he said, adding that through the WYF duration of the project was shortened from one year to three months.

He added that most of the companies that were involved in the platform were Egyptian.

A video highlighting the "Story Might" website was screened during the session. Through this website, young people can share the story of their lives, their career, dream and talent.

Fahmi urged Sisi to allow the launching of the new website during today's session.

The Arab and African Youth Forum launches in Aswan on Saturday, and set to last for three days until March 18 under the patronage of President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi.

The forum will tackle topics such as the future of scientific research and health care, the impact of advanced technology and innovation in Africa and the Arab region.

The forum's agenda revolves around Arab and African subjects of concern in light of Egypt's presidency of the African Union in 2019. The Youth forum’s activities include open discussions, workshops, seminars and round tables gathering senior officials, decision-makers and a large number of young people from all over Africa.
