Cairo promises to provide a unique opportunity to exploit opportunities in the presence of the key decision-makers from the Public Sector from the whole Region, the buy side private and public sector Hospital Management and the key European and US suppliers of services, equipment, construction and funding.

The 200+ expected audience will consist of leading European, US and Middle East-based companies; large SMEs; technology-based companies, facility designers and constructors; trade financiers, investment officers, private equity investors, financial officers, legal firms, consulting and engineering companies, insurers, export credit agencies, multilateral institutions, financial institutions and PPP practitioners; central, regional and local Government Officials, etc.
