✨ OpenMED – Egypt & Italy Fashion Ecosystem ✨
On June 21st, The Italian Chamber of Commerce in Egypt successfully co-organized the fourth Open Seminar of the OpenMED project*.
This initiative brought together key representatives from the textile and leather sectors who actively contributed their expertise, sharing crucial insights on current labor market needs. These contributions will directly guide the design of upcoming free training programs for youth and vulnerable groups, opening tangible pathways to real job opportunities within the fashion ecosystem.
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to Mr. Mohamed Darar, Supply Chain Director at Concrete Company for Ready Made Garments and Vice President of our Chamber, and Mr. Bassem Lotfy, owner of Lotfy Industries. Their inspiring interventions and high-level expertise brought immense value to the seminar, sparking brilliant insights among all participants.
It has been a true honor to collaborate with a diverse community of expert academics, dedicated researchers, visionary industry leaders, digital marketing and startup pioneers, alongside the next generation of recent graduates. Thank you for sharing your expertise and shaping the future of our industry together! 🚀
*The OpenMED project is a cooperation with Italy’s Progetto SUD, the Industrial Modernization Center (IMC), Cairo University, the National Research Center (NRC), the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS) and The Italian Chamber of Commerce in Egypt.
