Our friends at Renaissance Capital wrapped up another successful edition of their annual Egypt Investor Conference in Cape Town, South Africa, last week. The conference brought together senior management from leading Egyptian companies and South Africa-based investors in sectors ranging from healthcare to financial to real estate, facilitating talks on prospective partnerships and investments, according to an emailed statement (pdf). As Egypt continues to develop and become more competitive, Renaissance Capital has been “acting as a conduit between investment capital and high-growth companies seeking to expand their operations and create more value,” said MENA CEO Ahmed Badr. “The establishment of our new Cairo office, and recent senior appointments to our MENA equity research and investment banking teams serve as a testament to our commitment to offer unparalleled levels of expertise and execution across the frontier and emerging markets of Europe, the Middle East and Africa.”
