As the Grand Egyptian Museum prepares to host the 2026 edition of the RiseUp Summit from February 5th to 7th, CEO Dr. Ahmed Ghoneim has been announced as one of the featured speakers. On day one of the three-day summit, Dr. Ghoneim will take to the Capital Stage for a special talk with Amy Mowafi, co-founder and CEO of MO4 Network, a long-time partner of the summit.

The highly-anticipated opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum in November, 2025 drew global attention to the largest museum dedicated to a single civilisation on the planet. The landmark moment not only reignited international interest in Egypt’s history and antiquities, but is also positioned to have a significant impact on the tourism sector and serve as a catalyst for a cultural renaissance within the country. As CEO, Dr. Ghoneim has been one of the chief architects in bringing to life a hugely ambitious project that was in the works for over two decades.

The chat comes as part of a sprawling agenda of panel discussions and talks across three stages, bringing together industry leaders, innovators, and creative pioneers to explore the evolving landscape of entrepreneurship in the region.

Tickets are available via the RiseUp Summit link in bio on Instagram.
