Rowad Al Eqtisad Newspaper continues to strengthen its position as a leading Arab economic media platform as its editorial team, led by journalist and media consultant Hossam Rady, prepares for the second and third editions of the Arab Forum for Pioneers of Economics, Investment and International Cooperation in Manama and Cairo.
Under the leadership of Rady, the newspaper has expanded its influence in entrepreneurship journalism, investment media, and international economic cooperation. The initiative also includes preparations for the prestigious Arab Rowad Awards, which aims to honor leading entrepreneurs, investors, innovators, and influential economic figures across the Arab world.
The upcoming forums are expected to bring together decision-makers, investors, entrepreneurs, media leaders, and representatives from regional and international institutions to discuss investment opportunities, economic transformation, entrepreneurship development, and Arab economic integration.
The first edition of the forum, successfully held in February 2025, represented a major milestone for Rowad Al Eqtisad Newspaper and for Hossam Rady personally, as the event attracted distinguished Arab and international participation. The conference was organized under the honorary presidency of Talal Abu-Ghazaleh, one of the Arab world’s most influential businessmen and intellectual leaders.
The inaugural edition witnessed participation from representatives of the Egyptian Exchange and several prominent economic experts, including Medhat Nafea, who discussed economic reform, entrepreneurship opportunities, and the future of Arab investment partnerships.
The conference was chaired by Haitham Turki, Executive Partner at United Accountants, members of Nexia International, and Head of the Trade and Industry Sector at the Arab Employers Union under the Arab Economic Unity Council.
The event also welcomed participants and guests from Vienna and several Arab and international countries, highlighting the growing regional recognition of the forum and the expanding media reach achieved by Hossam Rady through strategic economic journalism and entrepreneurship initiatives.
The upcoming editions in Bahrain and Egypt are expected to feature expanded international partnerships, specialized investment sessions, startup showcases, youth entrepreneurship initiatives, and broader media coverage, reinforcing the role of Rowad Al Eqtisad Newspaper as a dynamic platform supporting Arab entrepreneurship, innovation, and sustainable economic cooperation.
