What we’re tracking on 16 October 2018

***

We’re back this morning with a taste of the type of content you’ll be seeing in Enterprise One, our forthcoming professional-grade business intelligence service offering actionable insights into the trends, transactions and news that should be shaping your business and investment decisions.

We’re including this morning two exclusive interviews: one with SODIC CEO Magued Sherif and MNHD Chairman Hazem Barakat on what could be the largest M&A to ever be executed in Egypt (and the country’s first all-share transaction) and another with new Renaissance Capital MENA CEO Amr Helal.

Enterprise One is a paid service coming soon. Imagine what you could do if you had access to all the information we do — if you were a partner on the inside. Enterprise One offers exclusive, professional-grade insights, data and analysis to help you make decisions today, whether you’re advising clients, running money, coming up with trade ideas, building a business, wondering what’s next in marketing, or leading a team of professionals.

We’re inviting 100 partners to become beta readers of Enterprise One. Invitations are going out soon, and we’re being strict about the 100 partners, because we want actively engaged readers who can provide us with feedback as we build the service out over time. If you would like to be invited to join at a later date, email us on one@enterprise.press with your name, corporate affiliation and the best email address for you and we’ll put you down for a future invitation.

An inaugural flight landed at Sphinx International Airport yesterday, officially marking the facility’s soft opening phase, Civil Aviation Minister Younes El Masry said, according to Al Shorouk. Our take is that the airport could be a driver of value on the west side of the city: A functioning international airport could boost appetite for housing in Six October and Sheikh Zayed, among other points to the west, and open them to international companies that require proximity to airports in choosing neighborhoods for headquarters and staff housing. El Masry spoke last night with Masaa DMC about the airport’s strategic location (watch, runtime: 9:51).
