History

The Egyptian National Competitiveness Council (ENCC) was founded in 2004 by a group of prominent Egyptian business leaders and academics upon their return from the World Economic Forum’s 2004 Annual Meeting. Founding the ENCC was also supported by the Egyptian Junior Business Association, the World Economic Forum’s Arab Business Council, and Egypt’s International Economic Forum. The council was set up to shed light on the issue of national competitiveness, enhance Egypt’s performance and provide an international benchmarking mechanism. As the first non-profit, non-governmental organization dedicated to competitiveness in Egypt and one of the first competitiveness councils to be established in the Middle East, it is hoped that the council would pave the way for other similar efforts throughout MENA countries.
